The problem I have is that the very next 4 people in line will make the exact same mistake that the first one did. They don’t pay attention, and then get upset with the TSO because they are also being pulled aside or delayed.
We could have signs putting out 3000 watts of visual energy and loudspeakers screaming at 150 decibels and people are still going to ignore it all. And then tell us that no one told them! Explain that if you can.
Such are the vagaries of human beings.
I am at a loss as to why you are in a profession that deals with the public if the nuances of human behavior are so disconcerting to you.
