Here’s something to keep you laughing at the airport on that summer mission trip.
We’re entering the busy summer air-travel season, which means airports will be swarming with millions of vacation travelers, many of them with the intelligence of an avocado. No, that’s unfair to avocados. I say this because of the passenger behavior I often observe at my local airport, the Miami International Permanent Construction Zone and Narcotics Bazaar.
Every security checkpoint there is festooned with signs informing you that you must produce two things: (1) Your boarding pass, and (2) A photo ID. Also there are people announcing in loud voices, “Please have your boarding pass and photo ID ready!†Also, as you near the checkpoint, you can see that all the passengers in front of you are being required to produce a boarding pass an a photo ID. If there were an avocado in the line, at some point it would grasp that it needed to produce a boarding pass and ID. But many human air travelers cannot manage this feat.
Dozens of times, I have stood behind people who are taken totally by surprise. A boarding pass! AND an ID! Of all the things to need, here at the airport!
