Airports - what do you do when a porter asks you for your passport in order to take you to the front of the line?
So, you're waiting in a long line at the airport and an airport employee comes up and assertively asks you if he can take you to the front of the line. He then asks you for your passport in order to do so. Has this ever happened to you? How do you respond?
What country? What line are you in? A porter wouldn't do that. There are places where you can pay for someone to process you through immigration so you can get through faster. At one time, they would take people with small children through the security lines faster, but I don't think that's true anymore. It may still be true in some places for people who are elderly or handicapped.
I haven't seen a porter in an airport in years!
Why the hell would you be taken to the front of the line?
If you're late and your flight is about to depart, the ticket counters will sometimes ask for a show of hands for people who are still in line and their flight is about to go. Then those people can be taken to the front of the line. And the staff may take your passport to hand it over to the ticket counter so they can start the process for you. They enter your name off the passport to bring you up in their computer.
If that's the case, then sure hand over the passport if the porter is really a porter.
- Why don't airports use steam catapults and transverse arrestor cables, like they do on aircraft carriers, for extra short take-off & landing? 1. Airports could be pretty tiny with runways no longer than a football field 2. Takeoff and landing (takeoff especially) would be *much* more exciting 3. Airlines could charge people more money because the experience would be much more fun 4. It would save a lot of fuel with much less taxiing around the airfield, and much less fuel used during the takeoff phase

- Did you bring dildo in your checked baggage when you travel internationally before? What's your story in the airport? I know this is some sort of a weird and personal question, but I'm wondering if I can bring 7 inch dildo. Lol! Please don't judge? I just wanted to know if this would cause someone to ask me to open my luggage. I'm travelling to Singapore and US
