Airline security

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

Mom and my little sister were supposed to go on a cruise over Christmas.  The 
first leg of their flight to the embarkation port was cancelled when a door wouldn't 
close.  The storm in the midwest, and the consequent meltdown of the North 
American air travel system, put paid to any chance of getting re-routed.  So the 
didn't go.

The door that wouldn't close on the first flight wasn't an outside door, it was the 
cockpit door.  Mom was peeved.  Most people would have complained about the 
security policy that prevents takeoff without a locked cabin door.  Not Mom.  Her 
take was that there were lots of security guards around the airport, and that they 
could have just got one to stand in the doorway for the flight.
