Delta 39

A couple of times per year I cross the Atlantic. On an airplane. Mostly it is Amsterdam <-> Atlanta and that is either by KLM or Delta. Depends on which of the two has the cheapest business class ticket. (I have great employer, but they are not crazy) Unfortenately that is mostly Delta. Not that there is anything wrong with DL039, but their plane is somewhat older then what KLM puts in the air and thus (?) also a little bit less comfortable/luxerious. And I like the Delft Blue houses!

I already noticed it the last few European flights I made, but had not expected it would also be the case flying intercontinental with an American airline. Security stopped fuzzing about the liquids! Quietly without any explanation - which make sense, as they were making damn fools of themselves anyway by enforcing a totally useless and rather clumsy safety measure.

But what had remained the same was the interview: "Who is the owner of the bag? Who packed the bag? Has the bag been in your possesion since you packed it?" etc etc. What they want to accomplish by asking this kind of nonsense is beyond me, but then I am not into security. Funny thing is that if I would have boarded the KL flight, same trip, same departure time, same everything (except that KLM has the better plane and cuter flight attendants) nobody would have asked me anything.
