Airport Delays

[HiloJulie]

"I find it interesting that in less than 24 hours crews, equipment and materials were able to be brought in to repave a major section of the runway, but it took three and one half days to fix a baggage scanner."

A broken scanner is an inconvenience.  A busted up runway can kill people.

Under that theory, one must ask why we scan baggage in the first place?
