Well, that was something. Lessons learned from my latest travels:
- Don't fly on days that terrorist plots are thwarted causing the TSA to raise threat levels to orange;
- Don't check baggage because it may get lost... twice;
- Just plan on buying all new gels and liquids when reaching my destination since I can't carry it on and it'll get lost anyway if I check it;
- When the ticket stub says "US Airways by AmericaWest for Mesa Airlines" you're asking for trouble;
- Perhaps it's worth the extra money to fly direct;
- Phoenix is fucking hot and anyone who chooses to live there is clearly not right in the head.

Ugh, don't EVER fly through the Lincoln, NE airport. They searched my checked bag, like, SEARCHED through it with swabs and wands and took almost everything out. I was getting impatient, so when the guy handed my bag back to me, he said (in a condescending tone), "we found chemicals in your bag, which is why we had to swab it." And I was like, what chemicals, and he said, your beauty products, and I was like, ok, then just SAY that, don't act like I have explosive devices in there. I'm sympathetic to what these people have to go through in their jobs, but this guy was on a power trip. And then when I got to security, they made me throw out my lipstick, my perfect, wonderful Estee Lauder lipstick that I got free with purchase. I know those are the rules, but it still sucked. The funny thing is, if I'd had it in my pocket, they never would have known.
