I, for one, appreciate it when anyone spends the time to have their posts be in proper spelling and grammer. I am glad that the proliferation of hackerese (or whatever it is they call all the shortcuts that make typing on mini-keyboards easier) has not made it far into FT yet.
Anyway, as the OP, I ask if can we get this thread back on track? Both
Keith Alexander's column in the Washington Post and
Joe Sharkey's column in the NY Times dealt with this subject today. I thought the issue deserves more attention and commentary in this forum than a hard-to-understand post.
E.g., in the Post column,
TSA officials say they have tested the new procedures and found "very little impact" on wait times.
"This will not cause confusion for the traveling public," Kip Hawley, assistant secretary for the TSA, said in a news conference last week. "This is going to be very easy for the customer arriving at the checkpoint to figure what they're supposed to do. We'll make that very, very clear."
"Yes, ma'am, just stand over there and wait to be groped."
