Who said the airport checkpoint was a bad place to hang out? Milwaukee’s General Mitchell Airport has turned the area past their security checkpoint into a recombobulation area.
The sign is the brainchild of airport director Barry Bateman, who thought it would be a fun way to take the stress out of travel. I’ve got to hand it to him, it really is one of the first bits of humor I’ve seen added to the checkpoint area.
Being able to have a chuckle and a place to sit down and unwind after having your bottle of water confiscated in the name of national security is a great idea. Many airports have added seats after the TSA checkpoint, but I’m usually doing everything I can to get away from that area as soon as I can.
