But, now USA Today is reporting the Transportation Security Administration is testing self-select security lanes at two major skier airport hubs in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Denver, Colo. The TSA's new "diamond lane" system is modeled on mountain resort signage. They say the new process has worked to speed up the checkpoint process. Passengers simply choose a lane based on a self-assessed level of need and knowledge. The "black diamond" lanes, for example, welcome frequent fliers, while the "green circle" lanes are geared to families with kids, elderly passengers, or those who may need some assistance. We're not sure about the "blue squares." Maybe they are used the same as on the ski slopes - for those who think they're too cool for "green circles" and the "black diamonds" scare the snow out of them. Maybe, if they asked, we could help smooth out some of those "bumps" in the air. « Previous Story | The Industry Report Home Page | Next Story » |
