I had the best security screening experience to date on a domestic flight:

The line for people with the special ID that amounts to "give the government your firstborn and enjoy a more reasonable screening" was mostly empty so they were funneling some people over to those photo ID checker agents whenever they didn't have any IDs to check.

I got sent to that line, and after my ticket and photo ID was checked and we moved up to the xray machines, another agent was there giving instructions that amounted to: "Leave all your stuff in your bags, including laptops and liquids. Don't remove belts or shoes, only heavy coats."

They didn't even have the bins there, because everything was to stay in its bag. They just had the little pocket bowls to empty your pockets into.

So all your stuff goes through the x-ray like normal but you don't have to remove shoes or belts, and you don't have to remove your laptops or liquids.

And they didn't have the microwave body scanners, just traditional metal detectors.

They did also have a spot checker swabbing the hands of random people in the line waiting to show their ticket and photo ID.

As you might imagine, this line overall moved infinitely faster than the standard one, yet apparently they deem it just as effective a screening.

No more choosing between pat-downs or microwave radiation. No more removing laptops, liquids, belts, and shoes and then piecing everything back together afterward.

I hope that this is a new trend. Would that all the security lines move to this style of simpler, efficient screening.

Maybe he's implying Adobe Premiere is a stalker that could take advantage of that serial number being exposed to get access to some sweet, sweet RAM.

Btw, that was a fantastic interview. Smart talk about owning and making use of the publishing rights.

Yeah. Don't ever call a vintage icon like Aldrin a "coward". To his generation, them's fighting woyds.
