San Francisco-based DePue listed the numerous safety checks that each one passengers should bear at any given airport in India.
“Indian airports make no sense”
“Indian airports make no sense,” the OpenAI worker wrote, earlier than itemizing the safety checks.
He mentioned {that a} passenger can not enter the airport and not using a passport and receipt examine, a bodily pat-down, and a metallic scan. After strolling into the airport, everyone seems to be subjected to a pre-security boarding cross and passport examine.
Before attending to the safety checkpoint, the boarding cross and passport is checked once more, mentioned DePue. Then, everyone’s carry-on baggage are handed by an X-ray machine, whereas passengers themselves are “patted down and wanded.”
Before passengers can board the airplane, their boarding passes are checked once more. At this level, one would assume that is the top of all safety checks – however no. DePue ranted that his baggage had been checked manually earlier than he may enter the airplane.
He questioned the logic of checking baggage manually after that they had simply handed by an X-ray scanner. “BUT I JUST GOT X RAYED. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO FIND NOW? there’s a large line of individuals ready to get to the airplane,” he wrote.
