If you happen to sit next to the guy, take all those 3X5 cards out of his pocket and see if he can still manage to answer what time it is

I'd ask I could have one of those cards autographed.

Ha, thanks guys for all the ideas. I tried to start up a conversation about how we got into the short line and it's acting like a long line... DMV popped to mind...

no bites.

I think he was late for his flight, kept looking ahead for the source of the bottleneck. Was just TSA doing their methodical job, oblivious to the crowd.

Closer to the x-ray scanner, an attractive young gal wants to cut ahead, late for a flight you know...

I whisper, ok, but maybe Alex won't let you. She didn't get it, didn't recongize him and got to the front of the pack pronto.

Mr Trebek must have been flying US airways where 1st class still exists.

Sorry guys, no souvenirs, autographs, witty comebacks, memorable gems, answers in the form of a question, just another TSA waiting experience with a twist.

Oh my, was that a classic in the day? The first Coasters on FTE? '65 had such memorable hits.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to do that. Pesky burglars.

Probably tripped over that folding suitcase stand thingy

LOL! I think his injury is a fake... I think he was embarrassed by being out run by 56 yr old woman. He is after all the Great Alex Trebek!

Apparently it was that an IPhone 4S cannot stand up to a .50BMG round.
