The other day my company sent out this memo to all employees (paraphrased):

‘Effective June 1st Northwest passengers will now be boarding flights out of the North terminal. This will add approximately 150 more people going through the North terminal security line. Request for additional scanners have not yet been approved by Washington.
Lines may be long and slow depending upon time of day.’

It struck me that a local staffing issue was being controlled by Washington, hundreds of miles away. While we wait for their action, local citizens are stuck with longer lines.

We need to stop this micromanaging by the federal government and return decision-making to local leaders, companies and individuals.
