Surviving the Holidays

Merry Christmas wins... A new survey found 68% of Americans prefer stores with signs that say "Merry Christmas" over "Happy Holidays."  Can we move on now?

Most Annoying Airport Security Checkpoints

Traveling over the holidays can challenge your patience. Add luggage, a car seat, two strollers and kids, and you're challenging your sanity. The last thing you need is an extremely long wait getting through airport security.

Well just thank goodness you're not going through one of these airports this month (or are you???)... Travel and Leisure ranked the top five MOST annoying airports for security delays...

1. Los Angeles (LAX) Why? Celebrities! Celebs always think they can bend the rules... The Pitt-Jolie clan can cause huge delays. Not only celebs, but people smuggling contraband through is a huge problem, as well. One guy tried to get by with 40-thousand live snakes down his pants.
2. New York (LGA) The problem is that LaGuardia was not designed to accommodate a sprawling 21st century security apparatus.
3. Neward (EWR) Earlier this year, TSA agents at this airport were canned for sleeping on the job. Later in the year 25 others were canned for breaking rules when it comes to screening baggage. Ya get the problem here?
4. Philly (PHL) Again, they've had a tough time with power-hungry agents.
5. New York (JFK) The volume of international passengers slows the process to a crawl at this airport. The good news is they've demolished the slowest terminal and are looking to replace it with something that can handle the traffic. Until then, though...

We are a bored country...
