Sorry you had a couple of months that went down the drain, but I’m glad they’re gone. There should be a scaling back of security theater rather than profiting off of security theater. The more there is the latter, the less likely there will be the former.

Service was weird. At SFO, there was no dedicated line once you got through the Clear biometric identification stuff, so an employee would walk you to the front of some line. Made me feel like an asshole.

…wow…let’s see, they were the only private company, yes? Always sad to see that happen. How did you like the service? –markb
