Dulles airport is a national embarrassment

Dulles International Airport is an embarrassment to the nation, poorly designed and poorly run.

I note this in the context of Dulles administrators’ announcement that they have developed a biometric identification system that can be used at airport gates. Although this system offers marginal improvements in security, preventing an individual from boarding a different flight to the one they are registered to travel on, Dulles should instead be focusing on making it easier for travelers to move around the airport.
