Unfortunately, this is the most likely outcome. Those who don't travel often are unlikely to know that this line exists, meaning that they will get to the airport and run into the same issues.

While I applaud the fact that they are willing to discuss the issues ahead of time with the airport itself, I'm dubious about whether it will do any good.
