Comment Re:I presume you fly Delta? (Score 1) 135

DFW looks terrible. Separate buildings and across the street from each other. Plus the terminals are curved. So you have to walk a long way around and then over a bridge.

They have a bidirectional train line that links them all. For all the concourses they have, it makes things quite well.

ATL is all perfectly straight. You can go between opposite ends of the airport in like 10 minutes. Going from B to C is like 30 seconds by train, or like 2 minutes by walking fast on the moving sidewalks.

That helps if you're flying Delta, but doesn't help if you're not.

Comment Snowden == Uncaptured Bergdahl with a keyboard. (Score 1) 72

Given that Snowden's endangered the country in ways not unlike Bergdahl, bringing him to court is the only way to get the truth. That, and overwhelming evidence against him still is a fair trial - while he thinks he's entitled to an unfair trial in his favor.

For that, I stand with America by standing with the efforts to bring him in. If anything, it should also mean that anyone that meets him (or gains knowledge of exact whereabouts) but does not turn him is fit to be considered aiding a fugitive.

Comment How about improving navigation first? (Score 2) 135

Given the layout of ATL, going from one concourse to another (especially if you go between a civilized airline and Delta) requires a trip to one people-mover that unnecesarily increases the distance. Perhaps they could take a lesson from somewhere like DFW and fix that.

If I want online access, my phone does it quite well.

Comment It's not about competition, it's about compliance (Score 1) 234

Also competition makes us all better. Why are we afraid of a little competition?

Not if businesses are only seeking the most compliant party, not the most competent party.

It's why the US first sought slaves, then Southerners, then Mexicans, and then the rest of the Third World. It's also why businesses want contractors, which gives union-type protections to employers against their own workforce. Workers are more easily controlled in those countries versus developed countries like the US, UK, Western Europe(although contract-based hiring doesn't help), and Australia.
