A business ticket alone won't get you in the fast lane - you need to be TSA "pre-checked". Basically, it's a way to speed "obviously not a terrist" types through the checkpoint. If you qualify (white, born in USA, and/or rich) you still get screened, but with the time-consuming aspects of Security Theatre eliminated. (You don't have to take off your shoes or unpack your laptop, and maybe they set the metal detectors so as not to pick up the paper clip in your shirt pocket.) It's pretty much a walk-through, if you remember to leave your handgun at home.

Keep in mind that you still pay for the consequences of the dick mutilation, however indirectly. Red states are the biggest consumers of government aid, and your taxes (and ours) pay for that. And yes, those of us who aren't into dick-stabbing pay in other ways for their idiocy.

Right now, we're the ones they'll screw, since all the corporations adore the GOP and the 'Anything goes, if it makes money' ethos they all accept.

Apparently little indie stores are doing quite well, while the big chains are not.

The cavemen didn't miss their dicks when stabbing them though (See above).

I have been mentally referring to him as, " AShit Pie," and will heretofore refer to him as such aloud.

That brewery analogy is beyond stupid. It would more like if back in the day of landlines only, the phone company charged you based on who you called.

I find it's applicable to damn near every "opinion" that gets published as news, these days.

OK. Pretty sure I saw a fast lane for business/1st in Seattle recently but could be wrong. Same baggage scanners and security drill but separate (very short) line. Not "pre-checked". They do have that separate line for business/1st in Europe. Annoying there as well.

Blockbuster also had a habit of censoring their customers' movie choices, and this "nanny for adults" act for some obscure reason lost customers for them.

That could be a thing as well, if an airline can get the TSA on board.
