Now so far-flung and disconnected I once arrived 1:30 before my flight and, after the queue at the UAL ticker counter and security, made it only because it departed an hour late. And, no, I was not singled out at the checkpoint. That would have been even worse.
I've also waited 55 minutes for baggage, and that was baggage that was on the flight! When it was misdirected, even worse.
