This went fine. To keep things moving, they went with a quick facial recognition walk up and you’re through. Assuming it isn’t always set up this way because it’s not very secure, so we’ll see who slips through. Trump very serious about keeping our borders secure.

They opened up TSA Precheck, the one staffed with people. Global Entry, which is fully automated kiosks, remains closed. Each facial recognition station was manned today as well, so very effective strategy to address staffing issues by using more staff than normal. Libs owned.

Travel is a distant concept for me right now. I had to cancel several trips lined up for the next three months, both for work and for pleasure, while I'm taking care of my mom and her situation stabilizes more.

I'd suggest calling in reservations at Minetta Tavern now, grab a few drinks at The Ear early before taking in an off-Broadway show in between.

Been to Midtown Comics many times. Went last night as a matter of fact. Could’ve done some real damage but I didn’t want to pay full cover price for anything.
