Airport Roadblocks
Why can't everyone be as efficient as I am at getting through security in an airport?

I mean, really: Put all your metal shit in your carry-on. Get rid of those ridiculous industrial chain necklaces.
Is it that difficult to have your laptop out of your luggage before you get to the counter? Take it out while waiting. Put your belt in your carry-on while in the line. Or, better yet, put it in the carry-on when you are at home, then put it on after clearing security.

Greater than 20-minute wait lines (Orlando MCO, London LHR) are only the result of incompetent travelers who shouldn't be allowed to fly. There should be a special line that routes them back out to the parking lot.

Or better yet, a line for those who have a clue. For those who have their liquids & gels in a 1L ziplock bag, who have their belt in their carry-on (coins & cell too!), and who have that baggie in one hand with their laptop (out of it's case) in the other. For me, basically.

I want my own line at the airport security gate.
