Actually, its unlikely the queue clears any slower (or faster) with chip & pin. This is because the *overall system* still behaves much the same (unless, of course, credit card processor connectivity changed when implementing chip and pin). But chip and pin certainly takes *users* longer.
Lets examine your 20-second example. Earlier, you'd swipe the card and at that point, the terminal got what it needed to initiate the transaction wiht the payment processor (i.e. magstripe information). So you put the card in your wallet and just wait as payment goes through, the receipt is printed, and you're asked to sign. Lets say this is 18 seconds - this is your time to burn as you see fit - you arrange groceries, tuck your wallet in, find your keys, surf your phone...
But with chip and pin, the card stays inserted as payment is authorised. So 20 seconds of your time waiting in front of the reader, typing in the pin and waiting for the payment to clear. Only then can you put the card back into your wallet.
Perhaps a better chip+pin design would initiate a one-time authority (authorised by pin) from the card to the reader. This'd take - say - 5 seconds. The payer then pulls the card out and the payment process initiates. 15 seconds later, the payment is processed, the receipt prints and the payer is free to leave.
Perhaps the Peter principle applies to bad ideas, as well as people. Perhaps a 'headphone-ports considered harmful' meme has arisen to its level of incompetence within Motorola. And it attempts to propagate itself every decade or so...
In 2006, I remember being bugged that my Motorola SLVR required a special USB headphone jack. Plus, you couldn't charge the phone and use the headset at the same time (say, for listening to music). Other people thought so too... from this phone's top rated Amazon review : "CONS... No dedicated headphone jack ( form over function compromise)"
So the idea failed and Moto went back to headphone jacks.
Pepsikid, in cases like this, Google serves up gold and shit pretty well mixed together. If you struck gold, be generous and share it. Spare our hands (and minds) sorting through shit.
"We have a gay couple in the film. We don't make a big deal out of it. You start small and then you get bigger and bigger and bigger, and one day you have a gay character as the lead and nobody will wonder at it no more." -- Roland Emmerich, speaking of Independence Day 2.
So we have the director gently ushering society 'towards the light' -- some ideal that he has in mind. Great!
ID4 (the first film) had 2 writers: Dean Devlin, and Roland Emmerich (in that order). The second film has 4-5 writers, with Roland Emmerich credited as lead.

I realise what you are saying is effectively believed to be true by millions, but its little more than a cultural myth. I'm writing in the hope people starting new companies don't behave in the crass manner you describe.
They also said Autopilot "is an assist feature that requires you to keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times."
With outward sensors almost capable of highway driving (almost, but not quite), you'd think inward-facing sensors (that ensure the driver's attention is on the road) would be a piece of cake for Tesla.
But no. Instead, Telsa 'requires' something, and simultaneously makes it trivial to ignore that requirement. Tesla must enforcing inward looking sensors. With power comes accountability.
Unless, in some weird way, avoiding the 'look in' is a hallmark of Tesla's culture.
No, you can do more - you can have inward facing tech that ensures the driver is adequately involved in driving the car. Come to a safe halt if not (with blinkers flashing; horn blaring; and emergency services called).
This comment says it like it is - the Tesla autopilot lulls the driver enough that when he must intervene, he is unprepared (And intervene he must -- the Tesla autopilot does not use LIDARs, as Google's cars do. Musk pooh-poohed that approach as unnecessary and went with a cheaper camera and computer vision based approach.).
I hope he reverses course. Tesla needs inward-facing tech - cameras and FLIR sensors, gaze detection algorithms, steering-wheel grip sensors - to ensure the driver is 'driving'.

One of its conclusions: "Under the conditions of these 2-year studies, the hyperplastic lesions and glial cell neoplasms of the heart and brain observed in male rats are considered likely the result of whole-body exposures to GSM- or CDMA-modulated RFR."
> What about devices that won't let you add a new cert?
Those devices belong in their own firewalled-off VLAN, off your local network.
Even if you do MITM the SSL connection to a IoT device, what makes you think its cleartext underneath? Instead, there may well be another layer of Base64-encoded PKI message-exchange going on between the rogue IoT device and an external CnC server. The 'cleartext' won't trigger alerts because it does not match credit-card patterns or other detection patterns set in the infosec appliance.
Unlikely - two ships will likely have different schedules.
When talking pollution, consider concentration (dilution in matter, space, time). Also consider trigger thresholds (if pollutants cross a certain threshold, the body can't cope - especially the young and infirm).
Say the large ship comes into port two days, twice a year. That's 4 days of high-level smog, spread across two dates in the year.
With two smaller ships, you get half the smog per day, for 8 days, with the dates spread further apart.
Er, if you burn 96000 gals per day of anything except hydrogen, right next to where you live, its going to be a problem for you and your neighbours. Even with catalytic convertors. Unless you have scrubbers - but with those you have to dispose of the waste slurry somewhere (the sea!)
These ships need to be smaller. And visit at different times so they don't completely swamp local air quality. And hookup to LPG-generated local electricity at port.
Well some of this logic circles back; see, Steam took off because of Half Life 2. And that userbase attracted more content. Which attracted more users. So there is this positive loop in the userbase-content relationship, but with a damping factor; content is the prime mover and users follow good content more than good content follows users.

Now its 2016. Bluetooth and Apple seem to have encouraged this meme to reemerge at Motorola. So we now have ... the Moto Z Force, with its innovative USB headphone port. And it appears you cannot charge the phone and use the headset at the same time. .

Gotta ask why!
There are a few options:
VMs.
User switching (Windows: Shutdown > Switch User)
Run a program as another user
Why the emo?
From the study:

"Under the conditions of these 2-year studies, the hyperplastic lesions and glial cell neoplasms of the heart and brain observed in male rats are considered likely the result of whole-body exposures to GSM- or CDMA-modulated RFR."
