Straight Outta Compton (almost)

I got changed to a direct flight on NWA. Immigration and customs went amazingly fast but they switched my plane anyway. I still don't know when it gets in but it leaves in an hour so maybe my hope of a direct flight that gets in the same time or earlier will be realized. I forgot to ask for a window seat though. I guess I should be glad to make my flight! Immigration was simple. Getting my baggage took awhile but there were a lot of people on that flight. And of course there were three other people with the same Swiss Army luggage. I should have put something really bright and easy to see on it. Customs didn't really ask me anything. No one even looked at my list of declared items. The guy in front of me got asked if he had food. Maybe if you're an american citizen they go easy on you. Re-checking my bag was a little less clear. I almost put my bag in the wrong place. She said something about going to San Diego but I don't know why they wouldn't just sent my luggage straight
to MSP.

I got singled out for a special check and swab tests but I made it through and now I am waiting for the plane to board in a few minutes! I'm on NWA flight 320 and it gets in at 8:24 for all of you who I know will be waiting at the gate!
