Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie learned the drawbacks of ordinary life Thursday morning when he tried to bypass the TSA line and was denied entry to a special entrance at Newark Liberty International Airport, normally reserved for VIP guests, dignitaries and elected officials, according to a source familiar with the matter.

When Christie arrived at Terminal C in the airport with his New Jersey State Police detail and was taken to the entrance, which is located near the exit of the restricted area of the terminal, a Port Authority officer refused to let Christie use the special entrance, informing the former governor that he is no longer allowed to use it.

The source said that Christie had used the entrance recently, just before his eight-year term as governor ended earlier this week. He's been a private citizen for three days.

How'd you like to sit next to Christie on a plane?

I fly in steerage, so I don't ever have worry about that happening to me. I doubt he even knows what the back of an airplane looks like.

I've never seen a man built funnier than Christie.

I looked at your page. What a good man you are. Thank you for protecting us all, sir.

I hope you fly free for life.

:)

” normally reserved for VIP guests, dignitaries and elected officials”

Even then, why should there be ANY lane for such people? This is total BS. And if you are really so important, why don’t you have a jet of your own?
