Airport Waiting Lines

Group: Ben, Elias, Jeff, Haya, Pawandeep

Introduction•It would be nice if airline flights were always on

time, but that is not the way the real world operates.

•However, Scarcity of resource : Such as Limited space , Human and non human factors affect

airport waiting times.

Problems•Screeners did not provide instructions about security procedures while they were waiting in line to be screened.

•The removal of articles of clothing was not consistent airport to airport or trip to trip.

Problems
