Grumble
We had over an hour and a half in queue through Customs
Quarantine in Los Angeles, half our 3 hr transit before our
Chicago flight.
We were randomly selected for check by the new Terrorism Police,
which meant that the next seven times we checked onto an
aircraft, we got the 105% check, while others in our group sauntered
onto the plane with just a walk through the "gate".
Most of the security people couldn't understand that grown up
people can come halfway around the world to watch some air
shows.
I didn't mention that the real reason was to meet Lilith.
Lost touch with J4U, or would have grabbed a beer with her in
Oshkosh.
Above all, enjoy the "now" over there, and remember that despite
the differences, this is the home of some good friends of ours.
