Good for... someone? the airport wants me to show up what 2 hours before a flight to go through security, so add that to the flight time as it is sucking up my day. then I have another 30min when I get off to find my luggage. A non-stop flight between LA to New York is about 5-6 hours depending on direction the airport eats almost 1/2 that much time checking in and getting out. Speed up the flight and that will only piss off more people that they spend 1/2 the trip stuck in airports, and for most trips they will spend longer in airports then on the plane.
You want to speed up air travel fix the fucking check in/out process that will do more to speed up US flights then anything else and is a huge part of the process that no traveler is happy with.
Story Time - I once went on a trip I used a bag for a carry-on that I use all the time for other stuff and didn't know I had a pair of full size scissors in a pouch that I didn't know was there. I found this out because I saw 3 TSA people around the scanner and it had my bag in it. I asked if there was a problem without walking up to them. They told me about the scissors. I said they could just throw them away so it didn't hold up the line. They decided to keep 3 people tied up checking where to measure from and looking at the guidelines, I apologized to the people by me and shrugged on them still taking time on it. Oh this was the return flight, no issue didn't even know it was there for the trip out.
