We traveled to Washington, D.C. over Christmas and had the misfortune of flying into Dulles. One of our bags disappeared for 45 minutes and then magically appeared on the luggage carousel. My sister-in-law was directed to wait in the international flights line even though she was flying to Tennessee so she missed her flight. And security... What a mess. After waiting in line to be screened for about 10 minutes, one of the Dulles crew- probably getting minimum wage, God bless her, to keep our families and nation safe and secure- decided that the line was getting too long so just waved a bunch of people on through. Hello?!?! Why are we spending billions of dollars in creating the Department of Homeland Security and the vast associated new bureaucracy if someone can arbitrarily defeat all of that by lifting up a cloth rope in the airport?

Pace's Chipotle Salsa is excellent! Smooth, smoky flavor. Thick texture- the main ingredient is tomatoes. It's the first item listed so I assume that that indicates that it's the most abundant ingredient. I looked at another salsa on the shelf at Super Target and found that the main ingredient was water. Pace is clearly the way to go.
