If you don't check bags, something many here don't, it is a don't care.
Hmm, if only this would get me across the bay bridge in a minute or less.

I remain sceptical that this is any real improvement, i.e. more PR than customer serving innovation, although now I am motivated to take some time next week and watch the flow of self taggers to see if it looks any faster/different. Let's see what we see.
