This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.

The nexus machines in several airports have scanners like this and I can just walk up to it, look at it, and keep walking. No giving it my ID or anything like that.

Yeah, it was like a boarding pass printing machine though, which seems like a weird use. You still had to get the pass scanned later.
