I’m currently in the Minneapolis Airport. An enjoyable experience, so far. As opposed to previous post-9/11 adventures, staff and security are courteous and competent — while not being any less thorough. Only downside — Lady of tdaxp’s idea to “quietly” share some comments about the stewardess while wearing earphones and listening to music led to the obvious overhearing

After a very short flight from Omaha to Minneapolis, got food from subway and a honeyweiss from the Leine Lodge.

Next leg: the flight to Tokyo-Narita, followed by a relatively shorter jaunt to Beijing.
