There won’t be much more delay, if any, via that process, and you’ll dramatically reduce crowding in the terminal. I’d much rather sit in a HEPA-filtered aircraft than a jam-packed arrivals hall right now.

I don’t think this is rocket science.
Tell that to the big dumb kid in the room and he's liable to pound you. Losing either way...the American way!

The reason there are elected officials in these capacities is so that the citizens won't have to come up with the solutions and can concentrate on their own lives. If I had to do the job, I know that it wouldn't have had this type of mess associated with it. There's no way I could handle everything I currently do if I made these type of mistakes.
