Abstract

Picture one more weary traveler wandering the endless walkways of Minneapolis—St. Paul International Airport. This particular traveler is on his way home to visit family at the end of a relaxing summer spent baking cookies and hanging out with friends. He’s flying Northwest Airlines through O’Hare International Airport. As usual, he’s awkwardly pulling a boarding pass out of his computer backpack to remind himself of the flight number, gate, and departure time, and checking the current time on his watch before realizing that it was probably time to run.
