I’m thinking its also confusion about the backscatter X-ray machines that were used before the millimeter wave scanners replaced them in most places. I had heard some small airports still use the backscatter machines.
I still take the patdown instead of the millimeter wave scanners when I’m randomly selected for more scrutiny than the bog standard metal detector.
Maybe MS couldn’t stuff enough ads into the old Start Menu requiring a re-write to allow for more ad space. /s
In every version of Windows up until now which has contained a taskbar and start menu, as far back as Windows 95. Not just Windows 10.
Sadly not true. Microsoft removed the Start button in a version of Windows before. It was in Windows 8 (and Windows Server 2012 for some godforsaken reason) with the cursed “metro” interface. MS did it for the same stupid reason they’re citing here “tablet and touchscreen users”. The uproar caused MS to release Windows 8.1 a year later where they returned the Start button.
If taking an extra 15 minutes to go through security is causing you to almost miss your flight, then you’re already not arriving at the airport early enough. Shit happens. Gate changes occur. Overbooked flights are a thing. Long lines at bag check or security happen without any apparent notice or reason. Even something like unexpected traffic getting to the air port is common.
Welcome to the world the rest of us live in where the average citizen has to be the calm and collected one in the confrontation when dealing with law enforcement lest you earn their ire (or be shot because they’re nervous or angry).
