Yes, a colleague & I were returning home from a conference a few months ago, and had already had the return trip from hell--flight cancelled, terrible weather, had to drive 2 hours to another airport unless we wanted to sat another day (we didn't!), blah, blah, blah.
SO---after finally arriving at our hotel (for which we were vexed enough to make the airline give us a voucher)at 12.30am, and a 3am wake-up call, we were the "randomly selected" passengers given the privilege of having our undergarments scanned, luggage (again--dirty laundry!) rifled through, gifts for our kids inspected, fee inspected, et al. At which point we were so exhausted that we just started laughing hysterically because things had gone so badly already that we really weren't even surprised...we just wondered what might be next!

D.

PS---Am just arrived in the beautiful UK (got off the plane at 6.30am local time) after a *totally* smooth & uneventful trip---saints be praised!!!
