SAVE YOURSELF SOME AIRPORT HEADACHES
Duda Owner IONOS • November 10, 2015
I recently came across a couple items that might save you some hassles especially if you are a frequent flyer:
- If your time is worth money and convenience, you might want to pay $85 to the TSA. Doing so will buy you a five-year TSA PreCheck pass that lets you skip the security checks at the airport. You can review the opportunity at tsa.gov/tsa-precheck.
- If you are a resident of Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, or New York, and you plan to fly, you should start setting up your passport now. Due to the 2005 Real ID Act, these few states are the only ones whose licenses do not yet provide sufficient security features to identify the holder’s immigration status. Therefore, beginning at some as yet unspecified date in 2016 a passport will be a requirement. This will be true even for domestic trips.
Isn’t flying fun?

We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy. I call the overuse or inappropriate use of these words in this context HONESTY VALIDATORS because the speaker believes they validate the truth being spoken. We need a solution to this problem. My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
