Dave, at ORD last night, they made us get off one plane to get on another
for mechanical.  Then made us get off that for a "security breach".  Turns
out the security breach was that they had forgotten to do the individual
search of three random people (on a 757) and so had to do a "sweep" of the
plane after we were off, then reboard us.  Mindless procedurism doesn't
make me feel a whole lot safer.
