We love United and TSA

Our journey started this morning at 3am. Up and out the door with a hug and kiss for Davis. We arrive at RDU to be greeted by the ever personable kiosk. After three attempts to check in .... Success! Only to find out that UAL was so happy that our luggage was 5 and 7 pounds over limit. A quick rearrange saved us $400.00. Now it is 5:25 and the mad rush is on to clear security. 35 minutes later we are screened with a dash to the gate for our 6:10 departure. We arrived just in time to wave at the pilot from the terminal. After missing the flight we learn the next flight leaves at 10:13 so we are advised to go check in again outside of security and start the mayhem over again. We're loving the Monday morning staffing for United. Rebooked at no charge,surprisingly, and headed into security,again! By 6:50 the TSA is showing signs of being a well oiled machine and we cruise right through. So instead of killing time in Dulles we are twiddling thumbs in RDU but we take comfort in knowing we are not a terrorist threat after being screened twice.... Breakfast, Starbucks and a shoeshine, that can use as a mirror, later we are only an hour away from boarding.
