when we swith planes we don't go outside the secure area so there's absolutely no extra work for the TSA.  Doesn't sound particularly fair to me either. Those non-stop flights are much easier and,now, you're telling me we also pay an extra $2.50 when we can't get one.

I wonder what would happen if about fifty people jumped the First Class line at security.  It would be interesting to find out.....please note, I'm just asking an innocent question and am NOT suggesting subversive actions by anyone. Please don't report me to the TSA, I don't want to find my name on that "no fly" list.   regards, Gary
