So there I was (BWI 4am Monday morning), lining up for the security check point, after using the kiosk to print my boarding passes and check my bag.
They put the strap thing up to stop twenty of us from proceeding to the metal detectors and x-ray machine for carry-on bags. The rent a cop says, we're going to put you through another process, and let the K9 screen you, as long as you get through that without a K9 alert, you don't have to take anything (laptop) out of your carry-on, don't need to take off your shoes, no need to remove your hat, or jacket, you'll just go right though.
So, the twenty of us stand there for about 10 minutes, give or take, then they line us up double file, we walk the gauntlet as the K9 does figure 8's around us, and we get right though. The 10 minutes of standing in the cattle line was well worth it, took maybe 15 minutes total for all of us to get though...nobody scrambling around looking for a shoe, or trying to put them on while you're trying to get your bag off the conveyor belt.
Lets have more of this! Anyone else done this?
