However, it worked in the golden olden days. ;-) >ted There are no lockers today, Ted. They've done away with lockers at every airport I've been in since 9/11. There is no place to check luggage or leave it overnight if your flight happens to be delayed or canceled. This has happened to me several times. If you miss your connections because your connecting flight got in late and the next flight doesn't leave until the next day, you have to claim your luggage, remove it from the airport (to whatever "luxury" hotel they have comped for you), and then recheck it the next day. It's no fun to travel anymore!! I'm waiting for tele-transportation - like "I Dream of Jeannie" - I want to wiggle my nose and be there! Are some of you computer guys working on that? Be sure to include cameras and film in the nose-wiggle transportation. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
