Outsmarting the Smart Carte

Is it ethical to grab a Smarte Carte without paying for it?

When "TravelBuzz!" became a forum largely for nonsensical survey questions posed by a few people, I stopped reading it.

Recently another long time member of FT suggested that "Travel Buzz" is worth coming back to, that things have gotten better. So I came back for a look and this is the thread at the top of the forum. All I can say is, sigh....

Agree with RichardInSF. ^ Dumb question.

Is it ethical? Really? Come on.

As long as people are allowed to promote their websites in their posts, these types of posts will continue.

This thread is an advertisement; nothing more, nothing less.

Of course not! AFAIK, you get a 5-year sentence for doing so...

Look, if you're trying to expose your site here, at least throw us a bone in the process; post an intellingent question, amuse us somehow...

You get a 5-yr sentence for going to the parking garage, finding an abandoned cart and then taking that cart back to the terminal and using it for your luggages? Seems a bit excessive, no?

I mis-read the title of this as "outsmarting the smart gate" and thought this was a thread about getting through immigration illegally - what a relief it's only a dumb spam question...

Do not see this as a legitimate TravelBuzz Question
