DC March: Security in Airports targeted Protestors?
Curious to know how many flew to DC that had problems in security? Or, was it just me?

I had problems in both directions in addition to an airport employee knowing where I was going before I had divulged any information. Call me paranoid, but when they know before I tell 'em.....

I decided on the flight back that I am no longer going to fly if it is a close enough trip to drive. * wants the airlines filled, well too bad! Tired of being castigated for being a liberal activist!

2. We had no problems getting here, but we haven't left yet
Mr zola & I discussed before we left if any TSAs asked us why we were traveling we would say that we were going to visit a friend. I had no intention to give them a reason to make us miss our flight:)

4. Arrive at the airport early.......
and have a safe flight - the delay didn't take that long, just cost me airport drinking time, which saved me some money, so maybe I should be happy? lol

3. I heard Amtrak "broke down" so the east coasters couldn't get to the rally

5. I heard a story
Someone on another site I visit said that a woman with an anti-Bush tshirt was not allowed to fly out of the Austin airport, and that she did nothing wrong and was not arrested. She was simply told that she was not allowed to fly or something to that effect. Granted, this is third hand information so I won't go into any further details, but hopefully that person will post about it somewhere.
