Wait times at Reagan National and BWI vary dramaticallyby concourse. For example, the average and maximum wait at National's Concourse A on Mondays at 7 a.m. is three minutes. At Concourse B, it's 16 to 25 minutes.
If you don't know what concourse your airline flies from, check terminal maps. For BWI go to www.bwiairport.com. For National and Dulles, go to www.mwaa.com. But for National you'll need a translation cheat sheet: TSA's "Center Pier" is "Gates 23-34" on airport maps; TSA's "South Pier" is "Gates 10-22"; and TSA's "North Pier" is "Gates 35-45."
MUSEUM WATCH
Arghhhhhhhhhh!
CoGo is hopping mad that those two Edvard Munch masterpieces -- "Madonna" and the iconic "The Scream" -- were stolen last weekend from Oslo's Munch Museum. Now how are we going to get our Munch fix?
The works were still missing at press time, but according to Lise Mjos of the City of Oslo Art Collection, " everything is normal" for visitors. More than 1,000 of his paintings, 18,000 prints and 4,500-plus sketches remain on site.
The artist, luckily, often created different versions of the same paintings. So if you find yourself in Norway, you can see a twin of his signature work at Oslo's National Gallery.
