Fly Clear
At airport, someone zoomed through the security line with a privileged air, leaving us normal people enviously curious. I observed. Impressive machines hide behind the entrance guarded by burly uniformed. “How do I?” “Have 30 minutes?” I did and could get a card like that privileged one. Excited.
“Government is finally making progresses,” I thought as I fed personal information into the machine with an appetite. Then the kiosk asked for $128 for a year’s services. “Yack!” Would company pay for this?
I walked away. Not paying that for a card that probably save me just minutes each time.
Worse, it sounds like a security breach in the making. Will probably be canceled soon. I wouldn’t touch it either. Having said that, I believe that many countries have better security while not resorting to humiliating passengers. Having said that, given the direction of the economy, I’m not sure that it’s a bad idea to employ all those uneducated losers.
