I give up. I, as well as others, have tried to explain how the process works and why rules are in place. For you to think that airline employees have nothing better to do with their time other than track down missing passengers is ridiculous. In all reality the airline, AirTran in this case, did absolutely nothing wrong. Your complaint is with TSA and the airport authority because as you say, you were late to the gate because of security and a broken tram, both of which have absolutely nothing to do with any airline. There are so many things in your last post that are wrong, and I would love to "discuss", but it won't make a difference, so why try.

And just for your reference, I in fact do know the difference between a paramedic, a policeman, and a fireman. Here's part of the mission statement for Clark County FIRE DEPARTMENT: "At the Clark County Fire Department, we are proud to protect lives and property. Under a fine leadership of the CCFD command staff, our dedicated and well-trained crews respond to emergencies of all types - big and small, natural and man-made."

You'll notice it doesn't say, "We put out fires."

I hope your ocean trip is more pleasant than your attitude towards airlines and their staff.
