[Clips] Paying Extra for Faster Airport Security

[Anne & Lynn Wheeler]

one of the articles from a couple months ago about what happens if too 
many people shift into a priority queue. note that it is somewhat 
cheaper to let a few people to pay to go to the head of the screening 
line ... so that their queueing wait is reduced. It is a lot more 
expensive to install significantly more screening stations if you are 
planning on moving a large precentage of the people to the priority queue.

an article about making the screening process (itself) significantly, 
rather than just re-arraigning the order that people go thru the 
screening process.
