An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny, and making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded United flight was cancelled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said:
"I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied:
"I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear:
"Do you have any idea who I am?"
Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone:
"May I have your attention please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal, "we have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to the gate."
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore: "**** you!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said:
"I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that, too."

That is so awesome! She is my new hero. I work for an airline and sometimes all you can do is grin and bear it. I work in a call center so I never have to actually be face to face with the passenger, but its a hard industry to work in if you don't have a sense of humor! Props to this UA employee!

In my opinion it is better to have TSA agents on flights in case of an emergency. Plus, the security check would be at least slightly less of a hassle on the ground since there would be less in-flight worries about safety.

This woman is my hero! I'd like to think this jerk was so embarrassed that he never pulled a stunt like that again, but I'm sure he just went on to the next person and acted like a complete fool.
