  5. Why 72 hours? by guruevi · · Score: 1 · on Airlines Have to Ask Permission to Fly 72 Hours Early

    We already are screened before going to the USA, so we already lost that freedom, but why 72 hours? Do they have to manually punch in every single flyer? Or are their systems so overloaded that they can't clear you while you're checking in (I'm looking at you JetBlue with the 5-star rating on my boarding passes ALL THE TIME - random my @R$3)?
