Well, more<\/i> automated, but there are indeed some cool things here in terms of larger bins, faster people being able to get through faster, etc. It also avoids the security awkwardness of temporarily shutting down the line so that the TSA agents can wheel bins back from the end to the beginning.<\/p>\n

It does seem to me that you would end up a given person's bins (if they needed more than one — these are over-sized, but once you start getting jackets and shoes and luggage and purses and the like, you could easily need more than one bin) being separated at the back end, which would doubtless cause some anxiety or worries about theft (I know I feel a lot more comfortable when I'm there to see all my bags come out), and more hassle on the the exit end of the line, but the overall efficiency of this setup seems superior to the current arrangements.<\/p>\n
