On An Airplane Next To A Fat Guy

[TimmyClutch]

Toll lanes built by private companies with 50-year contracts represent a complete abdication of responsibility by the state government that controls federal highway funds.

P3s or public private partnerships are excellent examples of government and private industry working together for the betterment of the public. Sometimes governments are unable to fulfill their obligations to their constituents due restraints, in these instances private organizations can step in and help, and in stepping in deserve recompense.

I wrote a paper on this subject.

we both seem to have a dislike of misogynistic gin swilling ass-hats
but otherwise...pretty much

He can correct me but I thought Milhouse liked me.

I agree re: Clear. There are certain things the government should handle. This is one of them.

I’m in favor of an even more expedited lane for a higher fee. Pre pre check if you will

It just makes sense to have an expedited line for frequent travelers. They’ve been vetted plenty of times. It’s unlikely much has changed. And if they have their own line, we can focus more national security resources on less frequent travelers.

It should be automatically awarded after people reach a certain pace of travel (like once a month) and revoked when it slows down.

Automatically awarded doesn’t allow the government to gain revenue. Charge for it. The people that want it or need it won’t mind paying for it.

lol what

i mean do frequent travelers provide some sort of benefit to society at large simply because they travel frequently?

aren't you guys paying less for the services rendered, though, via FF programs and less checked baggage...?

We at least know how to get through a TSA checkpoint in no time. I get sick and tired of seeing all these people that have PreCheck but still need to take off all their jewelry, etc slowing things down and wasting time. A regular frequent flyer doesn’t need to do any of that since we know what to expect and are ready for it.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

Yep. Those are the types of things that FF should be “awarded”. Not TSA Fastlane. That should absolutely be an extra fee…

And we make up for it given that we aren’t booking travel two months out. I’d say this year my average advanced purchase for flights was maybe a week before departure. Closer in, the more you pay.

why do some airports require you to remove your laptop even if you have precheck and others don’t?

 

[ImTheCaptain]

if anything, people who never get to travel should have priority b/c it's a fun exciting adventure

I’ve never had to remove my laptop with pre check.

No. Where do you get that idea from my post?

Ditto

I only have had to remove a laptop in the past when I was traveling with multiple laptops.

However, now that most airports I go through have the (slow as hell) MRI type imaging machines, I've been keeping both my laptops in my briefcase for some time now.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

Fresno (smh) makes me take out the laptop with precheck

To be fair, I’m also going to cheer on OUR DEACS.
