If you travel by air as much as I do, you've surely become adept at gauging the number of rookies in each of the security lines before you. But, every once in a while, you get careless and somebody that looked like they had a clue is fumbling with 4 different gels, some juice boxes and a Swiss Army Knife...slowing you down. Whad'ya gonna do?
TSA feels your pain and, at some airports, is experimenting with different lanes for different folk. One for Families (and those needing special assistance), one for casual travelers and one for "Experts."
Bureau 3000's Jennifer Reichbach tipped us off to this new service and says it's pretty cool. But, skeptic that I am...I'm still waiting for some goof that flies once a year trying to try to impress his new girlfriend by steering her to the "Expert Line" and, like the Visa commercial, gum up the works.
Sounds like there may need to be an Air Law designed for these scenarios...
Seattle Tacoma International Airport has these designated security lanes AND they put some nifty new amenities in the parking garage too! Cool parking garage cams installed and digital signs that record how many empty parking spots are on each floor of the garage. Sweet! I love not having to circle and hunt for a spot.
