"PLEASE SELECT ANOTHER CHANNEL"

All I'm getting right now is the bald channel. Middle seat to LAX. Good times.

Dulles' new security setup makes the place more of a crazed, crammed, tense hell-broth than ever. You now descend into a fluorescent dungeon; ill-informed, short-tempered foreigners shout incomprehensible, irate, and conflicting demands at you, the usual screening rigamarole occurs until such time as you emerge, blinking, from the dungeon some 6 feet and 45 minutes from whence you first descended. Then you walk 2 miles, hop a slow-moving bus, and walk 2 miles more. "Dulles: Now with double the inconvenience!" Blearghhhh....
