Everyone has a take on the most annoying things about social media “influencers” . . . but if THIS trend catches on, we will all have the SAME answer for the worst-of-the-worst.
There’s apparently a trend among influencers to take staged, artistic photos of their TSA trays, while going through airport security. That’s taking the time to carefully and neatly arrange all their belongings in the gray tubs . . . and then taking a photo from above, and posting it online.
Seeing these photos in your feed is not the problem . . . it’s adding yet another distraction and inefficiency to an already cumbersome process.
Someone asked the TSA about it, and they implied that it hasn’t become a problem . . . yet. Quote, “As long as the staged glamour photos are not causing delays with other passengers in the checkpoint, there are no issues.”
(Here’s a sample of these posts, and video of it happening. It’s worth pointing out that SOME of these posts are being “staged” AFTER the line, at the benches. Which is slightly less irritating.)
