Does anyone know what happened between 6:30 and 7 o'clock last night out at Metro? My future mother-in-law really wants to know.

Traffic was at a dead stop at both terminals, headed to Arrivals...on such a busy night, that is to be expected.

But alarms were going off in the Thug Terminal [[McNamara, for the uninitiated)...and TSA was not letting anyone through, so the lines were dreadful. Nobody was able to drive up to Arrivals, and the cops seemed more insistent about not letting people linger at the curb for too long.

Luckily, my gal got me into a habit of using Departures when necessary...and that saved us a ton of stress and time. Only a handful of folks know this trick, apparently.

Cheers,
John
