lax airport - remodeled wing has great new features such as

"giant touchscreens where, if you spend a good minute trying to prod the screen into responding, you can shakily scroll through every flight leaving the airport in alphabetical order but can't actually see what gate it's departing from, and where you can allegedly view all sorts of other information like maps of food and shops if you're willing to slap the screen long enough"

and "biometric boarding," where you MUST to stand on a circle and have your photo taken as you board to have it matched against your ID photo on record in a government database. allegedly US citizen photos are deleted within 12 hr but non-citizen photos may be held Longer. because you know, classically, the airport is devoid of any other checks of identity

and also chargers! there are more outlets now.

#becoming a luddite smashing various screens going on a small and targeted rampage brb #LITERALLY just have a static printed map of the terminal #there are like 7 variations of the same store selling chips drinks neck pillows and dime novels it's not complicated #the One piece of info from a live display that's useful is the 'what gate am I at and is my flight on time' departures board #the touchscreens aren't even wheelchair accessible #besides that you know i looooooove when people must be photographed and have their pictures logged to the customs and border patrol db #not necessary! #it is airport time so i am a bad person and ideally my virtues will return when I stagger half-asleep out of the terminal at home
