They are just trying to find a way to reduce the lineup at a busy time. Is that such a bad thing?
Is this anything like the self-checkout lanes at the supermarket? Cause those don't go any faster than the regular lanes, and are really only useful if you are buying condoms or feminine care products, and want to avoid awkward situations. It's not really a way to reduce lines as much as a way to reduce employees.
And what about fraud? Can a thief just scan your credit-card without signing or showing ID, and walk out with an ipod?
