I don't understand why one of the most heavily trafficked international airports on the planet would choose to remodel its security checkpoints in such a stupid way. Is no one with a technical, logical, practical, or even somewhat competent brain anywhere in the chain of command who could observe and point out that the pre-9/11 ideas surrounding security checkpoints within a modern society are not only cruel but harmful to the psyche of millions of travelers. Visit an airport outside of the United States! See how other airports create a streamlined and non-humiliating experience. If you are making us take off our shoes (terrible and ineffectual) give us a little carpet. If you are going to charge more for checked luggage which forces more people to carry on large and awkward luggage with wheels that should not be lifted, then don't put uneven metal tables with no rollers on them causing congestion and frustration. If you are going to make us take off all of our layers and belts and jewelry and watches then give us more room before and after to prepare and collect. Have well paid, talented managers that can change and adapt to their airport and customers... Because that's what we are, customers, and you have been treating us like shit for over a decade. I will do this job for free. Someone please hire me to fix airports. This iPhone rant has been brought to you by; #securitytheater #jfk and the #tsa
