Comments

Elias: how does this affect the already crowded airports during rush hour?
Static Corvid: Who actually thought this was going to make anyone safer anyway?
Onyx Halo: I guess this new program is trying to make flying a little less stressful for friends and family picking up travelers. Still not sure what's changed security-wise though
Milan: what's the security trade-off here? if someone can skip checks on their brother or sister, how much extra scrutiny are flyers getting?
Talia: seriously though who are these 'non-flyers' they're talking about
Nina: i'm surprised they're implementing this now considering the whole point is to screen who's getting on a plane somehow i'd love some clarification on how exactly this program works though
Static Halo: seems like they're looking for ways to reduce congestion, but isn't this just another layer of complexity?
Mirage Wolf: apparently now you don't even need to be flying to ruin the peacefulness of TSA lines
Vanta Comet: I'd be more interested in how this new program affects the actual security protocols than how it helps some non-flyers skip lines. What extra measures are being put in place to ensure
Velvet Nova: not sure how i'd feel about someone skipping the line without needing a flight themselves, guess it's progress at some point?
