Seriously. My uncle says that everyone who flies non-rev stand-by (i.e. on a free ticket given by an airline employee) gets super special screening. Why? I ask you, why? I can only assume that the TSA thinks airline employees are giving free tickets to terrorists. Terrorists wearing yellow Old Navy polo shirts and flowery Hush Puppy mary janes. Sketchy to the max.
That said, I love the mountain time zone.
Update (8/11/06): Apparently, my sketchy status is not because I was flying non-rev stand-by. I flew JetBlue with a fully paid ticket Monday night/Tuesday morning back to New York and again received Super Special Screening. (Was my Fraggle Rock t-shirt the give away?) I think the TSA and I need to have ourselves a little chat.

It might have been the fraggle rock t-shirt. Nevertheless — it was interesting watching you go through the puffer
