Since we are told to be at the airport at LEAST two hours ahead of departure time, maybe check-in for a flight should be closed, let's say, one hour prior to departure. <?>
This would rid us of the people who show up late and cause the agents to open up a line just to get these late people on their flight.
Just a thought.</font>
How about just a little time-stamp thing at the entry to the line proving that you were in line two hours before hand. If you are not in line two houre before hand, you are charged, say, $2 a minute.
