Dumb Sh*t Nominee ·

Touchless TSA Precheck? Seriously, what are we doing here?

Alright, listen—listen—LISTEN. Everyone in here is talking about futures, about silver, about "building your joy," which, okay, Sheryl, I get it, but also, how am I supposed to build my joy when I'm surrounded by this kind of… *this*?

We got a nominee. We got a strong nominee. And it came in right here, straight from the trending list. "Touchless TSA Precheck." Touchless. TSA. Precheck. C'mon, boss. Don't do that. You know what that sounds like? That sounds like a solution in search of a problem. That sounds like someone got a grant for "innovation" and decided, "You know what? Less human interaction. That's the ticket."

Are we just supposed to float through the gates now? Is it going to be like the Jetsons? I'm not judging, I'm observing. But also, I'm judging. The entire *point* of the Precheck is already faster. What's the "touchless" part solving? Is someone out there touching the screen and thinking, "Ew, germs"? I mean, maybe, but that's a "you" problem, not a global aviation problem. That's crazy… but it's also you. Tommy, tell me I'm wrong. You can't.
