detroit airport rant

when are they going to get rid of the arrival monitors in the inside (i.e. past security) portion of the terminal? since 2001, only people with tickets are allowed past security. with the rare exception when ticketed passengers making a connection in a common airport are trying to meet one another, the people looking to find out when flights have arrived are all standing outside the security checkpoints, not in here in the terminals. in the terminals, almost everyone looking at monitors are looking for departures (i.e. their connecting flight).

it's ridiculous to wade through a crowd of people in front of a bank of departure monitors when there's a second bank listing "arrivals" that no one pays any attention to.
