"TSA says this is an optional program for travelers on domestic flights, while some foreign nationals may have to participate to be allowed on international flights."

"As TSA itself states on its website, “There is no issue and no delay with a traveler exercising their rights to not participate in the automated biometrics matching technology.”"

Has anyone opted out of the scan at the airport security line? Looking for best practices and pro/con.

Auf mein Flugzeug nach Hause wartend bemerkte ich, dass auch die Flughafenbar sich als Landebahn gab. Eine Menge slots frei!

I'm not kidding when I say now is the time to switch to a flip phone. Your privacy matters.

Londoner #Flughafen: Heathrow muss wegen #Stromausfall's schließen

"Am #Flughafen London Heathrow können heute keine Maschinen starten oder landen - der #Airport ist geschlossen. Grund ist ein Brand in einem #Umspannwerk in der Nähe des Flughafens. #Passagiere sollen gar nicht erst anreisen." https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/europa/london-heathrow-geschlossen-stromausfall-100.html

Does anyone know a source for the last firmware file for a Apple AirPort Extreme A1034?
Thank you!

#edinburgh #airport is one of these airports that hates passengers.

The walk from security to the gate area is a retail gauntlet made deliberately winding. It’s like google giving shitty search results so you have to page through lots of results.

The seating available is easily 50% commercial. That is, it’s pret and cafe Nero and Starbucks and such.

They don’t show gate info until about 10 minutes before boarding, which has long been the case. I suspect it’s a security thing. But it means you have to hunt for a free (uncomfortable) seat in a random part of the airport, not knowing if you’re near your gate or not.

It is crowded and small because they have maximised the floor space available to retail.

It is enshittification of #airtravel

It's here! I'm official. My Invisible Disability (Autistic) lanyard. I'm actually really proud of it. Hopefully the airport staff know what this means.
