Don’t fold your boarding pass on the bar code!

Yesterday was a very dramatic travel day, involving delayed flights, last minute connections, and dramatic sprints through the airport. It all started with an issue I’d never seen before, and wanted to share so you can avoid this in the future! At Newark the security lines were mercifully short. As I got to the Pre-check…
