I have made it to Lubbock, Texas. Flight was good and easy. Since I was on Stand bye I was able to have Premier seats. From Casper to Denver the seats were so comfortable. I started to read a new book during the flight. I was offered to have a free drink BUT I don’t drink that often. BUT I now wish I had a drink.
Once I made it to Denver, I hurried to my next gate to catch fight to Lubbock, as I had 45 minute wait I sat down and all of a sudden 4 police officers came and told me to move and Asked me if any of the other bags were mine that were sitting on the seats next to me. I said no that I just sat down. One lady officer asked me to get up and pulled me to the side, I was very confused on what the heck was going on. She asked me where I had just came from. I showed her my cell phone tickets and that I had just gotten off of a flight from Casper. Well she was still trying to push me asking me if those bags were mine and I said NO!
So I asked her what the heck was going on. Apparently the bags had been sitting there at the chairs for a while and they are suspecting if there was a possible bomb of something dangerous.
SO I had noticed there were several people be questioned of who bags they were. I started to get scared of my safety. SO I asked them if I could just stand by the escalators. She told me to stay where I was at.
They then were able to verify I had just gotten there and they were not my bags, I was upset they they even thought they were mine when I was holding my own back pack. I was very upset of the situation.
Then I had to tell the officers I needed to let the agent now I was there for a stand bye flight to Lubbock.
I did n’t want to miss my flight. So they took me over to the agent . AND I was able to get my ticket and there was 5 minutes left to start boarding. The agent told me to stand there and not move as I was allowed to get on first as I am deaf and I had Premier seats again. I was so happy to be able to sit right in the front of the plane. As a matter of fact one other lady came up and asked me if I was related to a Mary, and I said she is my sister. SO this lady knew who i was, she just had seen my sister 2 hours ago. She was able to tell the officer that she knew who I was and I was then let go immediately. WITH IN THAT second, a gentleman came to his bags and told them he had forgotten about his bag, he was worried that his bag was gone. BUT was surprised there was a lot of officers around, SO I assume he was checked and he was last one of flight as he probably was investigated.
SO the whole point of this incident, I was flagged as the person of interest of the bag being sit there and I had just sat down there. SO I felt very scared for my life for a little bit there.
SO I called my sister once I sat down on the seat of the airplane and told her of what happened. SHE asked me to get phone to the pilot. AS I did. They talked. SO pilot then told me that there will be an incident report of me being flagged as a Terrorist!!
So Then we took off and several people were looking at me pretty strange while they were boarding. Then I was very upset of the whole incident.
ONCE We arrived in Lubbock, I was lead off the plane and there was another officer at the front gate and he asked me if I was (K) and I responded yes I was. HE asked me to follow him and I was really then upset. I asked him for what. HE told me every thing was fine that they just wanted to talk to me of the whole incident and then I noticed that another officer had grabbed the guy who left his bag on the chair for over an hour and half!
SO I was lead into an office and I was asked if there was some one looking for me as I had arrived to my desination. I told them yes my son was expecting out side.
SO we talked for a few minutes. They basically were just trying to protect me as the pilot was concerned of my well being with the other passengers were saying was I the bad one.

SO they just wanted to make sure I was watched til I left in my son car. Once I got into my son Chef car as the officers explained to my son of what happened and why they were with me. Chef was in shock of the incident!
BUT guess what. I got 2 free tickets with United Airlines to fly anywhere for free. Just for the whole thing that happened. I have no clue of what happened to the guy who left the bag for an hour and half. THEY felt it was suspicisous.
I totally understand but I surely felt like a SUSPECT!
NOW I hope my way home trip will be a lot easier.

SO NOW I am also wide awake. I can’t sleep. My mind is like for real this happened to me!
OF ALL IN DENVER MY OWN HOMETOWN!!
BUT I was not upset of the whole deal I realized that the officers were just making sure I was safe!!
SO here I go look at my day experience I had.
I am rambling on and on.

I will come back tmw maybe I am getting tired!!

GOOD NIGHT!!
