Hundreds of unsuspecting weekend travelers arrived at San Jose airport on
Friday to face colossal lines at security checkpoints that snaked through
its two terminals, spilled into hallways and ramps and even into the
parking garage.
Perhaps passengers could be given a number upon arrival at the airport and
sent shopping for n hours, and every five minutes the next batch of numbers
could be paged to the security gate.
