Good thinking at airport security

After all the whining I have done about the hassles of airport security, I am glad to finally have something good to say.

At the beautiful little Columbia Metropolitan Airport last week I found a rack of Ziploc-style plastic bags for carrying all your metal accessories through security. Placed well before the x-ray machine, these bags made for faster throughput. Amateur travelers weren't holding up the line while they filled and unfilled buckets with coins, keys, watches, cell phones, etc.

I put mine in my laptop case for reuse, and I hope to see them at more airports in the future.

I've been doing this with my own gallon-sized ziploc bags for about the past year -- everything from my pockets or that could be something the security team might want to inspect goes in there. Quick, easy, and I've never been held up for "random" security checks.
