They will only be allowed to use e-gates *after* they are enrolled in EES. The first time through, it will be slower.

All you have to do to be trans in the US is figure out what bathroom you can use at each state you travel through, and which airline will allow you to fly! So easy!! 🙃

"It may vary by airline and/or airport. If you try this please let us know with which airline, at which airport, and how it went."

CBP changes procedures for airline passengers with “X” passports – Papers, Please! CBP regulations require would-be airline passengers to identify as “M” or F”. These regulations were never changed, even when CBP was accepting “X” gender markers.

Let's be frank: A little used law means, there is a legal basis which was exploited with bad intent.

A lesson to learn here: The legal systems - laws etc. - of so many countries are cluttered with legacy rules and laws which a criminal mind may dig out and use. Decluttering - a call for action?

We understand.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Tweet from Fred Wellman: “Weird. I was told it’s a war zone.” Below is a Time Out Chicago post showing a scenic city skyline at sunset with the text: “Chicago has been voted the Best Big City in the U.S. for the ninth consecutive year.”

Stay strong, stay beautiful, Chicago. c

I hope this incident (and public pressure it generates) will finally get airlines to close vulnerabilities of reservation systems to stalkers, harassers, etc. they've known about for decades but chose not to fix. CRSs need to add passwords & access logs: hasbrouck.org/blog/archive...

Yes. I've reported and tried to sound the alarm for 20+ years (including with authorities in the USA, Canada, and EU) about all of this.

I've been warning for years that airline reservations are insecure. Anyone who shoulder-surfs "record locator" from boarding pass or bag tag can access, change, or cancel them without password. There are no access logs. See explainer and links here & more on my site: hasbrouck.org/blog/archive...

Note circularity: Army says National Guard was requested to protect Federal courthouse in Loop (contradicting Chief Judge of that courthouse) *because* of "need" to protect court hearing regarding... deployment of Army to Chicago. If the Army weren't there, it wouldn't even arguably be needed.

This is the sort of plain speaking we need:

"President Donald Trump has declared war on Chicago....

"Let us be clear: The President of the United States is levying war against American cities and American citizens."

Michigan Avenue right now.

Remember Nixon and Reagan. Do not forget. Do not forgive.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
