There were no instructions to take anything out of your bag, or to do anything else, at the security checkpoint. There were no recorded announcements. I f there were instructions on the signs, it was in print that was too small to read. I did what the people in front of me did -- took a bin, put my shoes and jacket in it, put my bag on the belt, waited for someone to tell me to walk through the scanner, picked up my stuff, put my shoes on and headed for the gate.

So, now I have several hours to waste at SLC airport...
