Freakonomics Meets O'Hare....

Maybe you have read the hot book of the summer, Freakonomics. It is an attempt to explain weird questions like "Why is the Ku Klux Klan like a bunch of real estate agents?" and what might possibly be the next hot name for girls in the new century ("Aviva", a popular name in Israel. I kind of like it, but I doubt the Tsar would....)

Anyway, if you always wanted a Freakonomics-style answer to the question, "Why the hell do I always get stuck at the airport?", maybe this article will help you figure out why.
