During the Christmas holiday, my wife and I traveled to Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska.

After we celebrated the holiday with our daughter we were heading back to Ohio, and I was extremely impressed by the TSA staff at Barrow Airport (Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport). They were thorough, kind, helpful and pleasant throughout the process of checking us and our luggage through the process.

I have traveled through many airports, and the people you have in place in Barrow are some of the best I've had the pleasure to see in action. I think it is important to share compliments when warranted, and the team in Barrow was impressive.
