Midway funnels passengers into 3 screening categories Posted on May 8th
While it is finally safe to stow away the skis after a snowy Chicago winter, travelers at Midway Airport will navigate through a new slalom course when going through security lines beginning Thursday.
New signs, color coded like those at ski resorts that warn of the difficulty level of slopes, will direct passengers to one of three lines—a green circle for beginners, a blue square for intermediate travelers and a black diamond for advanced passengers.
Travelers will pick the line that fits their experience level, or security workers will direct them to the appropriate one.
The goal is to reduce tension and frustration at security checkpoints and speed up the process for at least the experienced travelers who know to whip off their shoes and remove laptops from carrying cases without being told.
