Should people who are late for their flight get to cut to the front of the security line?

@evan This is a beautiful illustration of the tension between kindness and fairness. It’s not fair to give someone who showed up late priority. But it’s unkind to make them miss their flight. Sometimes they’re late for reasons beyond their control, sometimes not. Kindness says “let’s assume the best.” Fairness says “let’s assume the worst.” Which society do you want to live in?

@abhayakara what a great framing!
