Something I forgot to address in my report.
Coming home from St. Martin....we arrived at immigration in Miami.
they have these new kiosks now where you slide your passport and get your photo taken.

The machine either allows you to go through or it marks your face with an X.

Well...both Steve and i got an X.

So we had to go to the REAL person line. Before the kiosks....there were no less than 20 lines in Miami with live agents. Now...there were 2. Very few people were allowed through immigration by the machine...which resulted in a line that was at least 200 people long. Each person took about 90 seconds to get through the line.

Yes....we waited for over an hour for our turn.

So....modern technology is at work yet again. People have been laid off...jobs gone....and machines that were created to make things faster...bogged down the entire system.
