Airline "Bliss"

I recently when on vacation to NY with my boyfriend to spend time with my friends from back home. I flew with US Airways on the flight there and their performance was well, mediocre. I didn't get any free nuts on the plane. But we got the Syracuse alive and on time and had a great weekend. On the way back however was a different story. We got to the airport on time and were told that our plane was delayed 5 hours. I have waited for planes before so this was nothing new. I kept myself occupied until midnight when we were told that our flight was completely canceled. Thankfully my boyfriends parents house is right in town and his father was awake to come pick us up. The next day we got to the airport an hour and a half early at 5 am as advised by the person from United Airlines who rescheduled our tickets to US Airlines. The airport was completely flooded. By the time we got to security we had 30 min to get on the plane. We were told before we even put our carry ons on the belt that we had been selected for extra security screening, so they put us in a separate line to be patted down and have our bags searched through by hand. As much as I support our country and airport security I don't think that we should have been subjected to such treatment that almost made us miss our flight just because the airline screwed up!
