While waiting in the security lain this morning at DIA (after dealing with the cluster fu*k that is now United’s checkin system,) we were subjected to a PowerPoint presentation on full digital, high definition, 50″ wide screens. The message of this presentation? It was encouraging all of us to “practice IN-OUT-OFF”. There are too many things I can say here but my first thought was there were way too many people in line I did not want to see practice this. My second thought was that as a single traveler I felt left out of the whole procedure.
