Best as I can tell, this was not one of the better ones (which led to my pulling a story from <em>two<\/em> weeks ago, but we don&#8217;t have to worry about that). Still, there&#8217;s a bit of eye-popping material out there, and I&#8217;ll make the best of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week in travel, we&#8217;re going to see why everyone hates the TSA, almost as many people hate emotional support animals and how to make fewer people hate flying in economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>This Week In Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>A TSO Gets Downright Creepy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It was about a year ago that the TSA had only its second moment of glory.* In the middle of a government shutdown, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2019\/01\/21\/tsa-government-shutdown-workers-call-in-sick\/2636495002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">90% of employees showed up anyway,<\/a> even though they weren&#8217;t getting paid.

Yeah, um, I&#8217;m not sure what to say.

Increasingly, though, passengers are claiming that their pets are emotional support animals to get around paying the pet carry-on charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, that doesn&#8217;t mean that all such animals are cats and dogs. We&#8217;ve seen <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"emotional support pigs, peacocks and Pebbles the dwarf hamster (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/travel\/2020\/01\/24\/peacocks-ducks-doomed-hamsters-wildest-emotional-support-animal-travel-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\">emotional support pigs, peacocks and Pebbles the dwarf hamster<\/a>, as well as a wide variety of other animals that don&#8217;t begin with the letter &#8220;P.&#8221; I&#8217;ve gotta say, though, the rabbit in the bowtie makes it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vaulted.blbvux.net\/c\/2069478\/708379\/10658\" id=\"708379\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/a.impactradius-go.com\/display-ad\/10658-708379\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"249\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" src=\"\/\/imp.pxf.io\/i\/2069478\/708379\/10658\" style=\"position:absolute;visibility:hidden;\" border=\"0\">\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Aircraft Interiors That You&#8217;ll Probably Never See<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there really is an award for everything. I&#8217;ve never heard of the Crystal Cabin Awards, but <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"according to this press release (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.crystal-cabin-award.com\/cca-news-realeases\/article\/the-future-of-flight-from-luxurious-to-sustainable-the-crystal-cabin-award-shortlist-2020.html\" target=\"_blank\">according to this self-serving press release<\/a>, they&#8217;re some of the most prestigious in aircraft design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the downside, none of these innovations look like what airlines <em>really<\/em> want, which is a way to cram in even more seats into the same size cabins.
