I checked my keys one time... and Southwest lost the bag for a day or so. Pre-9/11, I would routinely keep my keys and change in the top zipper compartment of my carry-on bag to avoid slowdowns at the metal detector. Flying home from LAX to Love Field on a day with bad weather all over, my original flight got cancelled and I was forced to take a multi-city hop from LAX to PHX to El Paso to Dallas... and gate-check my carry-on in LA. Should have grabbed the keys but didn't. Arrived at Love Field after midnight only to have no bag to claim and thus no keys to car or home. AAA got me into my car, a spare key got the car started, but I still had the old apartment key on the spare ring. Ever check into a Motel 6 at 2am, grubby from a very long day of travel and with no luggage, trying to convince them that the room will be single occupancy? Wacky fun. Expensive lesson learned very firmly. (The bag eventually turned up in ABQ before making its way home.) -- Ed Dravecky III http://www.fencon.org/ -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
