...pretty significant, pretty wide-spread waits on somewhat mundane travel days too!

We need to do something!

...the plot thickens...

Today, I see inferences that this is a worker-inspired slowdown with political and funding motivations.

Monchavo may have to move this to the political forum...I'm suspecting this will improve the approval ratings for a certain US candidate for El Presidente.

Flew through DTW on Monday morning. 10 people ahead of us in line. Took 25 minutes to get through, including a special examination of my keychain after they spent 10 minutes doing a bomb sniff on grandma's purse in front of me. Half of the 10 or so agents present were just standing around, doing nothing, literally bitching out loud to each other about their jobs as I glared at them.
