Cutting The Line
Since the attacks on September 11, the airport security has obviously improved and become rather strict. Improvements in airport security is obviously a good thing, but what is the deal with the long strenuous security lines. Now a days, airports suggest for passengers to arrive an hour and a half to two hours before departure. This means passengers can stand in line for up to and in some cases over an hour. Most people do not like to stand in line for more than 15 minutes much less an hour. With airport security technology on the rise, the overseers of these projects should find a way to make the machines more line efficient. The new technology will be created to detect a possible threat more efficiently than any available security machine being used today, but with all the new technology are the machines going to cut down on the long security lines or are we soon going to have to arrive three to four hours before departure.

I think that it must be taken into account that if these elaborate new machines and technology greatly slow down the traveling process it could cause great disruption and disturbance in the airport systems. In other words, people could frequently be late to flights along with other things. Inventors of these developments most likely have considered this as they develop their new ways of security. I would assume that the new machines would be more efficient and less time-consuming...hopefully.
I know your focus is on planes, Swidge, but what is the security for trains? With this kind of time factor, it may be less time consuming to take the train, at least many places up and down the east coast corridor.
Where are those airport stories?
