FFT was good ... until he went on that rant about safety videos. Obviously the airline should take that seriously, but trying to lecture the crew? He's a youtuber, not a regulator. Such arrogance...

ugh so disruptive, feel for you there

Sorry, this is kind of off-topic for the thread title, but I once met a travel vlogger at the Louvre, while waiting in the ticket queue. He was quite polite and unassuming, and he was not constantly videoing. I never thought to ask what his channel or platform was.

Does anyone know a Korean vlogger who visited the Louvre last summer?

Not quite on topic but this makes me giggle. There is one youtuber who goes on about how rich her husband is and their magnificent millionaire lifestyle in Dubai. One video had snippits of their alleged international travel and the 6 figures they spend regularly, then shows an Emirates plane and them sitting in business class! They tried to hide it with their angles and quick views but when you know all the gold in F you know they are not sitting in F. lol

I agree re GB. His videos are also all the same and show no personality. He quite obviously reads from a boring script which always follow the same 10 boring points or similar structure, He has also done very well which means that he has gone very upmarket with a focus on ultra luxury cruises and crews now know him so hardly reflects a normal experience.

I do like the FFT but his last series have dragged too much specially with lots of videos focusing in one or two hours flights of little to no interest He is also getting more pedantic which has been the case with a lot of bloggers as they gain populatory. But overall most of his content and videos are very solid.

Nyt has an article about bloggers sharing their tsa trays which also indicates their lack of tsa pre. Imagine more wasted time at tsa as people waste time setting up a photoshoot during a busy and potentially stressful situation.

The odds someone does this in front of me is nearly 0. Even if it happens, how much will it really impact me, 30 seconds?

Also they can do this after going through the scanner, it would not bother anyone at all. Well, maybe only those who don't know how to mind their own business.

So no, I can't imagine.

It is unlikely that any TSA agent will allow this in the screening area. It causes too many disruptions and if filmed, someone is going to get a talking to.

TSA rules only prohibit photos and video recordings of the body scans.

Fair. I haven't transited a US airport in years, however, can you imagine what kind of logjam there would be for two or three bloggers/grammers/tokers if they were to (after going through scanning) hunker down and arrange their bin and take a photo? In YYZ, there's not THAT much space... and in some airports (eg, those that screen at the gate), there is no space to do this and process other travellers. If I were a TSA agent and ignored this, I'd expect to get yelled at.

Pretty easy, and probably easier, to create this somewhere else other than at an airport. Few quid spent on a suitable plastic box from a DIY store and you're ready to go.

those are the fake travel bloggers. You know that their fans will be expecting photos to legitimize the setting - photos for proof, as one category!

The bin photos are actually occurring in the airports

TSA comments

TSA seem ok about this as long as other pax aren’t disrupted.

I would think that there would be the Pre humble brag by not having shoes in the photo.

Found this thread today. Completely agree with the concerns/comments here. As someone who recently launched a channel, I'm always mindful of my surroundings/fellow travelers. Last thing I want to do is make anyone uncomfortable. Film with iPhone only and absolutely no commentary (which probably means fewer viewers in the end if you believe what the 'experts' recommend).
