Are wireless users rude or simply unaware?

We all learned to say please and thank you, I’m sorry, excuse me; to stay to the right when walking on stairs, corridors, and streets; how and when to greet with a hello or good bye, to introduce others; the appropriate ways to serve and eat a meal; that there are appropriate and correct ways to participate in life’s happy and sad events; and a myriad of other gestures that lubricate the daily interactions required to live gracefully as social beings.

TSA registered traveler pilot program ends, airports seek alternatives

At the end of September, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) ended its registered traveler pilot program that began in July 2004, originally scheduled to last just 90 days. The pilot program was conducted at airports in Boston, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Washington, D.C., and was extended due to its popularity.
