Peggy Noonan on airport security
Sometimes I agree with her, sometimes I don't; and sometimes I just enjoy her story telling...
Peggy Noonan writes about her recent airport experiences:
"This was East Germany in 1960. It was the dictatorship of the clerks, and the clerks were not in a good mood.
After a half hour in line I get to the first security point.
"Linfah," says the young woman who checked my ID.
"I'm sorry?"
"Linfah." She points quickly and takes the next person's ID.
"I'm so sorry, I don't understand."
Now she points impatiently. How stupid could I be?
Line Five. Oh. OK."
