Some airports now offering visitor passes

1. Airports are congested enough, this should be on a truly 'as-needed' basis.

2. Oh yes, the commercial airport has been the perfect normalization of the police state system. There is now a whole young adult generation walking around unaware flying used to be a fun, chill activity and airports weren't police states. If only these idiots knew how well government class and wealthy in private airports travel-maybe they would have the good sense to boycott flying until it became palatable again. So far the only thing that has stopped is airliners dragging paying customers off of airplanes after selling out space from under them. Frankly I think Americans could expect a little more: like actual storage and toiletries that aren't only 3-ounces. I'd settle for decent seating in coach.

3. I can see this being helpful for disabled travelers and loved ones and families who want to see loved ones off. But if you're just there to poke around the airport, You might as well take advantage of the shops and restaurants while watching the planes take off. I get it. Back in the day before 9/11 happened, you could see you loved ones off and welcome them home without a visitor pass. Obviously in the 90s airport security was very lenient.

4. And when something happens this is what they will say…. Unfortunate and Unforeseen…

5. Ummm…9/11 much?

6. I don’t think this is a good idea…unless you’re a plane enthusiast and this is your excuse to see planes

7. Fix the horrendous problems first….not more ppl….🙄 Greed at its finest!

8. 😂 Thumbnail shows an "embarassment of riches" in the shapes of so many fat Americans at the airport.

9. More work for TSA to monitor as if they don’t have enough on their plate already.

10. Waste of time.. parking still too expensive to fo through the drama.. especially the smaller airports .total nogo for big ones

11. This is helpful for international travelers

12. They do not see the danger.

13. Please don't do this.
    I understand, it's capitalism at its finest but It's a compromise of an airport's integrity and security. There are enough eateries and shopping opportunities just outside of airports old and new alike.
    Families and friends can peruse, shop, park and eat together before entering the security of an airport or after departing the airport.
    I, personally, enjoy the time of onboarding, off boarding with fellow air travellers.
    My other concern: Who is the approving authority of who makes it into the airport with this *Daypass*?
    More and more airports carry high-end, high value products and services.
    Is there going to be any questioning of who gets in to shop? How long? How much? There are a lot of ambiguities that need to be established before I would even consider this a workable idea.

14. Really. How much extra revenue are we talking about at Orlando, allowing 15 people a day? A Starbucks inside might be lucky to get one extra customer. This is the way it was before 9/11. I see nothing wrong with it, as everyone still needs to go through the same screening. Actually, you've been able to do this all along, if you were willing to jump through some hoops. Buy a fully-refundable ticket that can be cancelled for any reason, including the day of the flight. Use that to go through security, then apply for your refund once past security (you should be able to do that from your smart phone).

15. wow all of the stress of airports and flying without actually having to fly. these shills could sell anything if you paid them enough.

16. sounds like it will take longer to get through security

17. Borders are wide open. Top terrorist groups are walking into the US. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

18. They just want more people to spend money in crappy airport malls. Really this is what is important to these people not fixing delay problems

19. WTH….

20. so ….the whole terrorism thing was BS? exactly
