I had no idea how badly TSA management had positioned the airline to basically crumble badly if something went wrong like it did this summer. Still learned a valuable lesson though, always think about the future, not what's happening at that time. Also TSA apparently had a history of repeatedly furloughing guys with no regard, things you find out later I guess.
