Just how bad is airline service

Maybe my flight is delayed or cancelled, maybe not. Maybe my bags arrive, maybe not. Now days, I got better odds in Vegas.

Also, It is my belief that when you go through TSA screening, at that moment you give up all civil rights.

You have the right to not go if you don’t like their terms.

TSA is a PIA. With my airport ID, I can go anywhere. If I had friends or family I try to meet them at the gate to say goodbye or BS. They have a special line for airport employees to go through do they aren't held up. One rent a cop was giving me crap and told me I had to go through normal screening. I told him to pack sand. I know the hallways and doors at Anchorage so I opened the nearest passage (with my id) and when I got to the other side of TSA I was sure to let him know he was #1.

Most are cool people, just overworked and stressed

I found this one a bit amusing.... (since no one was injured).

• On July 23, 2015, an Allegiant aircraft attempted to fly to Hector International Airport in Fargo, North Dakota, which was at the time within a temporary flight restriction due to a rehearsal by the Blue Angelsflight team for an upcoming air show.[96] The pilots then declared a fuel emergency, stating, "Yeah, listen, we're bingo [empty] fuel here in about probably three to four minutes and I got to come in and land." The pilots were scolded by the airport's tower, who said, "Your company...should have been aware of this for a number of months," regarding the airspace restrictions. The pilots flying the aircraft were, at the time, the airline's vice president of flight operations and its director of flight safety.[97]

I hope there were some red faces on that crew for such an unforgivable lapse in flight planning. Check your NOTAMS!
Some retraining seems to have been warranted.
