Outside Look

“The government…expand an airport security program that creates special checkpoint lanes for families and “expert” travelers.” This is great news for everyone involved. Not as cool as, Clear, which is a must for any frequently traveler departing from a participating airport - but provides value to everyone. By asking travelers to self select in to family, intermediate and advanced/expert it is no surprise that all lines move faster and travelers are happier.

I can’t express how many times I’ve ended up behind a family of 4, shoes and liquids in one hand, laptop in the other, ready to speed through but wind up waiting for the family to do whatever it is they need to do. This new method being tested seems to work the way the freeway should - slower traffic keep right - and everyone moves faster.

Let’s hope more airports give this a try.
