Agreed - Denver has to be one of the worst in the US to get through
security. I've been there a few times, and have never spent less than 1
hour in the security line. One time last year it took 2 1/2. The lines
snaked through the baggage claim area, and then outside side.


I flew to Denver 9/11/02 from Buffalo. I allowed lots and lots of time to

get
across the border and go through security because of the anniversary date.
Security was no more than I had experienced over 30 years of flying from
Canadian and European airports. I had no problem with security at Denver

when
I flew out 6 days later. I have to admit to having found the non profile

spot
checks amusing. That was less than a month after a friend flying up from

SC ws
pulled out of line for a spot check, a 35 year old woman traveling with

her two
sons, hardly the profile for a terrorist.


You have some knowledge about the profile of a terrorist?

You definately had a good day. The Ski season is unbelievable.

The TSA Goobers have no idea what they're looking for. Some put on a good
show though. The 2 boys may have been "mini terrorists" They pop the
pilots
knee caps to get control. Then Mom takes over the plane & fly's it into
a Wal Mart.

Sounds good, but which side of the security gate would this be found?

Most of the exhibits and art are located on the concourses which are
still inside the security zone and will not require a security
screening. Just get on the train that connects the concourses. If
you go all the way to the Jeppesen Terminal building, you will need to
go through security again to get back to the concourses.

When you get on the train, just be sure that you don't take it all the
way to the terminal. Make sure to get off on either the A, B, or C
Concourses and make sure to get on the train going in the "right
direction".

I appreciate the replies... I guess I will just find an AC outlet and get
some work done on the laptop...


On the mezzanine level of one of the terminals (sorry I can't remember
which), Qwest has a special area set up to welcome road warriors. Quiet
cubicles to set up your laptop and free surfing (I think).

Of course, I didn't find it until after I'd spent an hour typing away on
a cafe table.
