Flying out of ATL with TSA precheck takes all of about 1 minute.

This is complete bullshit from the delay of scale riding the “plane train” alone.

TSA precheck in ATL takes min 5 minutes on a good day.

Setting that aside again, airlines have now even taken the liberty of telling you “boarding doors close 5 minutes before departure and won’t be reopened”.

Travel today is so shitty you can’t even fathom what it could be.

How is a plane supposed to depart on the departure time if the doors aren’t closed and checks aren’t done?

I wonder how many checks require the door to be closed?

> boarding doors close 5 minutes before departure

Err... 5 minutes is extremely generous. Emirates closes the gates 15 mins prior to departure; AirAsia, Qatar Airways, 20 mins; EasyJet 25 mins.
