Columbia, SC (WOLO) — What’s one line our parents and teachers always taught us?  Obey the rules,   stay within the lines, the lines are your friends. Now let’s go to the lawless wild wild West where people’s I.Q. drops just by being there…the airport. American Airlines is tackling what is called “gate lice.” Those are the people who try to board earlier than they should. Everyone in group 3 congregates when group 1 was just called. You know who you are. And i’ve got eyes on you if you’re on my plane. Get back in line. No cutsies. Should you slip thru the cracks, new technology is out there and will loudly buzz if you try to get in out of turn. Even on a big screen shows the true boarding group! I mean, if you paid for the early boarding, you should get it. Now i don’t agree with storing all your bags in the overhead compartment because that’s why people want to board early. But this new machine will keep the gate lice away. Words of wisdom from your Uncle Doug, wait your turn, you gate lice.   Categories: Digital Exclusives and Features, Local News, National News, News
