Absolutely we should, but there's a thousand things that we should, but are not doing. I think their concern is probably that you'll rush into a plane during a CLE tour of the airport 30 minute turn from C2 to D-17XXX (<--- that was for McKnight) and allow yourself to be so rushed that forget all the other safeguards that are in place. I don't have any personal experience/info with this exact thing, but I'd be willing to bet that it's happened.
