I agree.

The airport and TSA probably has themselves to thank for this trend, with the disrobing --- take off your belt, your jacket, your shoes, etc.

While I tend to agree with the PJ's are dumb (sweatpants and sweatshirts I understand), -- what's wrong with Crocs in the airport?

I don't wear them, but seems smart if you have to remove your shoes.  (Yes, mostly you can still wear your shoes of late.)

[FearlessF]

I agree.

simple - raise the prices on seats (double them) - then the planes aren't overbooked or even crowded

Or you could get Precheck or Global Entry and not have to remove anything. Anyone can get those, unless deemed ineligible.

I thought they paused Global Entry?

Decorum.

To a degree, I suppose. 

The complaint does get a bit silly when it’s boiled down, but there is a joy in complaining. 

[bayareabadger]

Oh boy, it's happening...

AAA is starting to turn into an old man yelling at clouds.

It brings a tear of pride to my eyes.

Im starting to wonder if that’s going to be the most lasting Simpsons-ism.

That's me getting some pitching advice from Tim Hudson (Huddy).

[MrNubbz]

I thought was the 3rd Niekro Brother

[Cincydawg]

Huddy is a super nice guy, I really enjoyed talking pitching with him.  He was one of our coaches.  He played at Auburn, was also a position player.
