I spend the night at Dulles because my gate checked bag is a threat to national security

Anyone want to guess what happened? Too tired to post tonight, but expect the full story tomorrow. 🙂

Just wanted to mention that everything's fine, there's nothing to worry about, heh. Sorry about the delay on this post. Still waiting for the resolution to one part of this story before posting, which I was expecting today but hasn't happened yet.

I too have been checking this site for an update. I sure hope Ben's okay.

I'm with GBA - neon green gate check tag falls off, bag magically becomes dangerous, as the ironclad guarantee of safety, that green tag, is not present to vouch that the bag has been scanned. Happened to me at DEN once, and I too had to spend the night there instead of connecting on to LAX and then to ICN.

Well I was expecting to have an explanation posted by now. I'm beginning to wonder if this post was his one "phone call."
