No More Elite and First Class Airport Security Lanes?
Legislation is being considered that would end the perk first class and airline elite passengers enjoy today — preferred security lines at airports nationwide. (www.cnbc.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'll bet Ben Nelson agreed with Barney Frank a few years ago when he insisted that everyone deserved to own a house- regardless of whether or not they could afford it, or had good credit. Look where that got us .If people want to pay substantially more than others to fly on the same plane, let them use a different security line.If they weren't paying more for tickets, the coach passengers would have to pay more.
Ben Nelson, just another "equal rights" liberal.
How about the increasing numbers who demand preboarding for handicaps, that seem to disappear by the time the flight lands? Some perk. Getting to the head of a line to go through a virtual strip search. I want safety as much as the next person, but I can't ever remember TSA catching a terrorist in an airport. I seem to recall the underwear guy, and the shoe bomber, who were responsible for the liquid limit, and shoe removal, were both onboard (albeit, having boarded overseas, but screened under TSA guideline). Incidentally, I think TSA agreed to the shortcut lines because they consist of folks who move through faster, which benefits all.
note to self PROOF READ PROOF READ ,, THEY THEY THEY ok
Except the TSA can process more frequent fliers more efficiently, and that it actually saves time and tax dollars. Mr Nelson has no real clue except some complainers who wrote letters about fairness, well folks life still isn't fair or i'd have my own jet and not care also.
The lines move faster because the flyers are more experieneced and cause less delays etc etc etc. Leaving more agents to do more with the masses.
Bob Nelson probably thinks everyone should be upraded too making the airlines FAIR!
There is a valid reason i get prefeered treatment on an airline and at hotels and with rental cars, I SPEND MORE!!! and the dont give things away because the like to, it makes good business sense and promotes loyalty and more $$$$$$$$$$$.
WHAT NEXT..........

Perhaps Ben Nelson should write legislation restricting the use of premium lines at Disney World too. How about passing a law that Night clubs can't select people out of the waiting line for admission, and bypass others who have waited longer. Yeah we'll make it a fair world by writing more laws. Give me a break.
