Air travel after Bush's TSA got a hold of the airport gates have been a
real pain. TSA, another one of Bush's FEMA, is an obvious failure. To

At SAN Diego, can one walk between Terminal One and Terminal Two

Has anyone ever gotten screwed out of frequent flyer miles on Star
Alliance? I had a 12,000 mile round trip last year and was credited for
the whole 12,000 miles. I checked my statement today and it only shows
