Vantastic Voyage

As I make my way back to the States, I couldn't help but notice the insane amount of security in the airport, especially compared to the security at all the venues I visited during my time at the Olympics. I think I went through at least five different security check points going through the airport.

I got to the airport more than two hours before my flight and I only had about 20 minutes to wait before I started to board. In Vancouver, we were told that we had to get to the venue at least an hour and a half before the event because of how long it took to get through security. The first event I went to was a hockey game and it only took me 20 minutes to get through security. I am not saying that I didn't feel secure at the venues, but it was definitely built up way too much. I wish someone would have warned me about the airport security.
