[comp.org.usenix] Expect delays at Airports

lear@turbo.bio.net (Eliot) (01/18/91)

According to the CBS affiliate radio station in the bay area, at least
San Francisco International and San Jose International have
implemented the following rules:

	[1]	No curbside checkin.

	[2]	Only ticketed passengers beyond the security points.

	[3]	Any possessions left unattended will be confiscated
		and destroyed.

	[4]	This includes cars vehicles left at the curb.

Presumably because of [1], the administrators suggest to passengers
that they expect extraordinary delays when they check luggage (arrive
1.5 hours early for domestic flights).  I don't know if [3] means that
lockers will be unavailable.

I would imagine that similar rules are in place at other airports.

Austin has the same, so I would imagine it's pretty consistent
nation-wide.  Austin also suggests checking in 2 hours before domestic
flights.  Lockers are NOT being rented.

Fortunately, I can drive to this conference!  ;-)
