1. The best advice might be to not to vote for Republicans.

They create poor governance and increase the cost of everything. The TSA is underfunded and not being paid due to GOP corruption and diverting resourses elsewhere. They don't even try to govern properly. Vote blue.

2. Well, nobody on this site votes Republican.

3. Let me get this straight. If everyone else did what was right, I'd get through the line faster?

Or is it that if I do everything right and everyone else doesn't, I can bypass them and get right through?

Or should we have signs saying "Those who have done everything right, use lane 1. Those that have not, use lane 2"?

Or should we understand that all people make mistakes some of the time and some people make mistakes all of the time no matter what they are told on websites, on calls, on signs at the airport? We need enough TSA people or relax the overbearing silly restrictions at the airport to accommodate errors.

Or do we need to rethink how we handle passengers such as having the primary TSA person refer those with baggage issues or other problems, to a secondary agent so those who have no problems can move along quicker? I remember the days when a single TSA agent checked your credentials then checked you. Now, of course, they intercept credential issues before you get to that agent.

We hadn't traveled on a plane in a number of years before we took a trip last year internationally. It took forever to understand bot the common rules and the unusual ones (like taking distilled water for a CPAP machine in carry-ons).
