Don't mean to sound like an ass, but...
Just started for a new firm. Slightly balding white guy on a business trip midweek. Not a terrorist threat. First trip, they didn't have my credit card or frequent flyer info, so they bought my ticket under someone else's credit card. Well, that means you get an "SSSSS" on your boarding pass, at least with American, so I was in the extra special security line with lots of scruffy looking people, both times. Then plane got cancelled due to weather, and because it was a last minute ticket, American wouldn't transfer it over to ATA (the only other airline with later flights from Midway to DFW that night)
So I went out, talked to a ticketing agent, and bought a one way ticket for that flight, this time with my credit card (which wound up being less than several of the other passengers similarly stuck paid in fees) But guess what? Never flown on ATA before, and a one way ticket is another "SSSSS" mark and another trip to the "little somethin' extra" security line.
Flight delayed, eventually walked in the door of home at about 3:45 am.
