Same here, but that‘s why we used offline readers that downloaded everything we needed in a minute or so and then hung up.

No that's just racist, but a couple of hundred twins 'hacked' it on day one.

"But as a frequent traveler I've found the TSA frontmen to be quite polite and personable. "
Indeed.
Problem is, that is _all_ they are.
They have no other competence.

George Costanza would have had one.
