Ubiquitous news reports of airport chaos had even me wondering if I was going to miss my plane. I could have driven back from Indy with friends, but I decided to take my chances at the airport. Total time to get through security: 3 minutes.

There was a piece on NPR this morning in which IND was cited as a model of security efficiency, due to flexible infrastructure and good planning by the airport management. Your experience is typical of flying out of Indy, but I don't think it can be generalized to other airports (Reagan National was used as a foil).
