I don't mind the need to haul the laptop out, but I do hate the fact that even after 5 years, many airports still have not reconfigured to make the process anything but a clown dance.

I worked in international air express operations for years (think Tom Hank's job with Fedex in Castaway) and view the lack of intelligence in PAX airport operations as laughable. I've been thinking about how to strike back at the airports that haven't reconfigured; perhaps DHS taxes/penalties?
