The problem is, these idiots are then used to enact all sorts of unrelated anti-motorist laws in the name of safety because “so many people are dying on our roads.”

Gotta love the Bayview.

There's a great McDonald's right next door, but no 7-Eleven.

Interesting factoid: TSA only manages the checkpoints from the document checkers through the end of the screening process - they don’t control the queues themselves at all. That’s why private companies like CLEAR can do what they do. It’s also why airports like Sea-Tac were able to implement virtual queuing during the…

Yep - a lot of travel bloggers have already covered this in detail, so I feel like putting this relatively uninformed article out into the ether is unnecessary at best and harmful at worst.

Yep. 1F at ORD T1, for example. :-)

I’m guessing this person is talking about Global Entry or other expedited entry programs.

Gotta know the tricks. Flying internationally? Go to a domestic checkpoint. Flying domestic? Go to an International Terminal checkpoint. (If you can.)

Only when returning. But definitely sign up for Germany’s version - it’s called EasyPASS RTP and it’s 100% free. You fill out a form online, then go into one of their enrollment centers and complete the process. It takes about five minutes - and it was actually harder to find the right office in the Frankfurt Airport…

• Unlike PreCheck, you won’t be randomly selected for additional security screening.

It became a sea again because of that mistake. It was an ancient seabed already.

From my dad: "The sign says yield, not surrender!"

A tongue-in-cheek one: “the right of way isn’t given; it’s taken,” and its Ayn Rand corollary, "it's not who will let me, but who will stop me."

Early on in Scott Dixon’s career, they described his application of throttle as, “as if there’s a raw egg between his foot and the pedal.” I always think of that when I want to drive smoothly.

How about all the Spider-Man movies that were just an excuse to keep the movie rights?

If engineers ruled the world, then every intersection would be a 4-level stack. Efficiency isn’t the only factor, or else we’d all be on buses anyway.

I’m with you. Pacing the traffic should actually help the zipper merge, since it equalizes the speeds between the two lanes.

Bingo! Our driver’s education standards in this country are ridiculously poor. The zipper merge is relatively harmless - the one that really bothers me is that most of us have never been taught the modern rules of sharing the road with cyclists, scooters, and the other flotsam which have become so common over the past…

I like this - merging is definitely a collaborative activity. But most of that is about communicating your intentions clearly rather than speeding up or slowing down.
