Does anyone ever see those people you just want to unstick? You can see that they’re so close to getting where they’re trying to go (romance or a project or a goal) but they can’t figure it out. Have you been able to unstick someone before? How and why?

Hi @Delta and @LATAMAirlines - please explain how to get all boarding passes for your LATAM/Delta itinerary? I was told at my 30 min connection that LATAM desks cannot issue boarding passes for the Delta legs of the itinerary but leaving and checking back causes missed flights!

Happy to help. This is somewhat of my specialty. For a square to qualify as having an object to be identified, the said object needs to occupy at least 5.62% of the total pixels in that square. Using that heuristic in this case, you don't have to select that square.

To be usable, security measures should be "designed and implemented so it is easy for users to do the right thing, hard to do the wrong thing, and easy to recover when the wrong thing happens." --NIST Damn, that's good.
