The TSA - still stupid.

From the Consumerist: TSA Brings All The Signage Of Skiing To Security Lines, None Of The Fun

Just what I needed, another layer of stupid on top of all of the TSA's idiotic security measures. I fly more than 100,000 miles a year, so I suppose that makes me a "black diamond" expert traveller.

From the TSA website this scheme boils down to six identical lanes. Who in their right mind self-selects being in a slower line? I can already predict the argument with some TSA flunky about which line I am supposed to be in, as if I didn't have enough problems arguing with the airline about their own policies.

Instead of having people try to sort out how many stupid people are in front of them they pre-screen for stupidity. Run a detector wand over everyone prior to the actual checkpoint to identify all the metal crap that they are going to forget to take off, so that when they do finally arrive at the security check point they have a better chance of making it through the first time.
