    Only if we build similar airports. I understand not everbody is a regular business traveler, but somehow the people in front of me always seem fascinated with the novel concept of flying and airport security, spending 10 minutes emptying the pockets and putting their stuff on the conveyor belt.

      Fly out of smaller airports if you can afford it. That’s the differentiator, is cost. Business travelers are (anecdotally) more likely to fly out of the closest and most convenient airport, whereas your regular broke joe (that’s usually me) will absolutely make the 1-2h commute to get myself to a hub airport to save a couple hundred bucks.

      'cause your plane would take off earlier if only these lame ducks in front of you were less lame. Also you’re going to miss valuable waiting time at the gate because of them. I feel your pain, but would you mind reading a little bit faster, I don’t have time ALL FUCKING DAY, please.

        For me, I just hate standing in a queue for long periods of time. Also, in my town, queues can get up to ober an hour in security, propmpting peeple to potentially miss their flight or planes being delayed.

        Then I wouldn’t need as much buffer time in the first place. The sitting and waiting is because I didn’t know how long the delays would be.

      Flying and grocery shopping are a bit different on the needs scale, don’t you think? Solid idea application though.
