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.

Some like these are active at Bogotá's airport, in Colombia. The kiosk screen asks you to look straight at the camera placing your feet on specific spots in front of the kiosk for alignment. Then it shows how it is comparing your face with the picture on the passport.

It is really creepy.
