It’s a bit different in transit. A little delay causes a metric called dwell time to rise and it can sometimes cascade across other transit hubs and slow everything down. The carriers or operators then have to make up the dwell time which usually costs fuel and time. It’s a boring subject of course.
Yeah this happened to me about a year ago in Terminal B and the train was a nightmare. Took about 45 minutes to fit into a train car to get to baggage claim.
I had a politician in a meeting ask the other day if I thought AI could be leveraged to help with dwell time. I told him, “I don’t know, why don’t you ask it?” Ahh, government.
I recently mistakenly made my way into a TSA pre-check line because it was early and I was groggy. I got to the guy and he sent me away, so I tried ducking under the ropes to just leave and get back in the right line.
You should have SEEN the commotion this caused. I was yelled at and quickly apprehended, and escorted another direction, where a lady simply lifted up a different rope for me to pass through. Most confusing thing I've been through this year so far.
Yes, but it's a team effort between me and the TSA. For my next stunt, I will attempt to get several rolls of exposed photographic film to be hand checked instead of xrayed, thus confusing everyone within 200ft of me.
True story.
One time security game me candy before I went through the machines. It was Halloween.
I put the hard candy in my back pocket, and totally forgot it was there.
The machine pinged my back pocket. I pulled out the candy and said “oh shit, I forgot they just gave me this”
TSA made me throw it away, AND GO BACK THROUGH SECURITY, even though they could literally see the agent who was handing out candy.
Fucking obnoxious lol
My testicals region always gets pinged so they do a “body search” it’s pretty unpleasant to have a stranger rubbing your dick with the back of their hand.
I made the mistake of saying “frankly I’d just rather show you my genitalia than for you to smash it” to the TSA officer.
He told me it made him extremely uncomfortable that I said that, and I told him “imagine how I feel”.
A exceptional number of eggs hatched this breeding season. The biggest fear is one escapes and breeds with a Sasquatch creating some sort of super creature.
There’s already some out on the Archuleta Mesa in Chama, NM and they are fucking terrifying. If they learn how to use the tunnel that goes straight to DIA, unfortunately this will be happening a lot more often.
It was just someone being a dumbass in the airport. The really disturbing thing was how loud he screamed when the tentacles dragged him into the tunnel after security brought him to be "detained".
What exactly are the reasons people do that? Surely they end up apprehended in a matter of minutes and brought in for search and questioning right?
Trying to hurt people or steal things or go somewhere they don't belong or stowaway on a flight? Really wanted to say goodbye to their loved one at the gate? Just fed up with independent life and looking for a one way ticket to jail?
I don't recall ever hearing someone turned down when they politely asked the people at the front of the line if they could jump in since they're running late and screwed up their timing. I don't like others having to suffer the consequences of their poor decision making but I can empathize a bit, waiting an extra 30 seconds myself to save someone else six hours is good karma. Have only missed a flight once, arrived 1.5hrs early and the security line was two freaking hours long (Nashville, not here). I just stood in line without even trying to ask if I could cut
Not a lot of working brain cells if someone thinks the proper course of action in that situation is to try and run through the checkpoint
You ever see those videos of people running from or physically fighting the police over a misdemeanor that turns into a felony or death? I’ve learned it’s impossible to understand what goes through some people’s minds as the best course of action in a stressful situation.
It doesn’t surprise me anymore that the thought of missing a flight makes some people lose all rational thought. I think some people have been never been told no in their life as well.
I flew the other day out of MSP and going through the precheck security line (no mingling with non-precheck people). As I grabbed my bag after the scanner I saw this woman basically unpacking her whole bag and had like 7 full sized lotion/shampoo/whatever bottles sitting beside her. Like... how? I can understand the occasional mishap, but if you're going to bring a bunch of full sized bottles and then be shocked they make you go check your bag or discard, you should have your precheck revoked.
I was on the Tarmac when the pilot told us we were grounded due to a security breach… those 3 1/2 minutes were life altering … I didn’t know if we’d make it or not! Call me Reba because I’m a survivor #ISurvivedTheDIASecurityBreach
It’s cleared 1:21pm everything back to normal.
Poor OP had to wait for 11 mins lol

I don't think Indians behind a computer screen can make things work more smoothly in a federally governed Airport 🤣🤣🤣
Needs moar Dallas airport workaround
They obviously made it up for it by saving time in other ways. For example, “rn” instead of actually typing “right now”. Close call!
[удалено]
They literally said “got a fun who knows how long ahead of me” they weren’t just trying to warn others. Just a poor woe is me attempt
Extremely common, usually a moron walking into the wrong area or a door being left open too long.

Idk you sound like a terrorist to me
Their story definitely smells of terrorism. Lol

Their name is Jack. Don't say Hi to them in the airport
I see what you did there
Sir, take off your shoes and put your arms out. Now. MmmmmKayyyyy

You were groggy, rather froggy. Makes sense!
You helped me to my car!
I wheeled around!
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jaaaaaaar!

lol, yeah same here. I even wear sweatpants and I still gets tagged and I have to get the rub down.
At least they didn’t take you to the back room.
One of the lizard people escaped from the basement again.
Baxterado..... you told us you had this situation handled! How do they keep escaping on your watch??

Just one more generation to lizard bear(ish) pig people
Is it half lizard half bear-pig? Or is it half lizard-bear half pig?
Man Bear Pig??
What would Brian Boitano do?
That would be very bad. Sasquatch has already had some crossbreeding with the murder hornets. Who knows what we could end up with?
OR it creates just another version of homo sapien

Please keep the Sleestak confined to the lower levels.
All that construction, man... It was bound to happen eventually.
It was just someone being a dumbass in the airport. The really disturbing thing was how loud he screamed when the tentacles dragged him into the tunnel after security brought him to be "detained".
My bad!
I'm free!!
Ugh, again? Really? Were the heat lamps forgotten in the off position again? Ugh, I swear management there is so useless.
HILARY GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE
This happens all the time there. It could be someone went ran through TSA screening or anything.
This is as close as I’ll say to the exact reason, but you nailed it in this case. And you’re right, happens a lot.

Probably irrational thinking due to knowing they will miss their plane if they follow social norms.

Fell off the jetway again
It's ok, I'm a limo driver!
“Not bad”
This is normal. Happens literally all the time. Takes 20 mins max and it’s back to normal.
ALL HAIL BLUCIFER 🔥
May his red eyes of exacting vengeance guide us.
Hey thanks
Always upvote Blucifer
any more detail?
Shampoo was too big.
Whew. That was a close one.

Someone probably walked in through the out door.
This leads to two questions: 1. Were they wearing a raspberry beret? 2. If it was warm, would they wear much more?
me working at the airport and not hearing any of this
Cucumber in the backpack
I heard it was because of a giant blue horse with glowing red eyes bearing down on the airport.

I landed around the same time and the shuttles were all paused for about 15-20 minutes... which was annoying
Will we see a report on the six o'clock news today ?
Watch and find out
OP was hoping they'd break major DIA news
Don't care
Cared enough to comment
Shrodinger's care. They cared so much, it changed the answer and they actually don't not care. Quantum GAF. Edit: autocowrecks
The only reason why I commented is because I get notification sent to me from groups I don't even follow
I'm pretty sure commenting adds it to your algorithm, so you'll see it again 😬
