Comments

Adam: seems kinda redundant if most people are passing through anyway
Webersofia: seems a bit ironic to revive something from pre-9/11 times during an era of heightened security concerns
Obsidian Echo: this is what i want to see more of - common sense easing travel headaches
Adam: can't believe this is still a thing after all these years though - why aren't they offering it to regular airline passengers too?
Elias Kwan: what a ridiculous throwback to when security wasn't a thing yet. guess this is one way to encourage people to sign up for TSA PreCheck
Romanoselim: not like anyone thought this was gonna fly, but good on them for bringing back whatever works
Eliasbrar: so this 'pre-9/11 tradition' is just a euphemism for chaos, right?
Velvet Oracle: finally something that makes airport travel slightly less painful for frequent flyers like me
Amir: reminds me of those days when you could pretty much walk onto an airplane if you looked "right" or had the right connections. feels like some privileges never change, no matter
Zero Rune: it's still weird seeing people bypassing security lines when they're not flying anywhere. like aren't those for flight attendants or someone?
June: who thought this was a good idea to open up gate areas again?
