I remember airports before

The first round of hijackings in the early 70's. About 1000% less soul crushing

And before deregulation. About 500% less soul crushing

And before the TSA. A slaughter house is less soul crushing even if you are the cow.

I actually had the same thought but with movie theatres. I think movie theatres would be highly effective as they could tightly pack many people into a room that they could not have otherwise. I feel as if they could generate profit and easily prevent boredom in the airport.

I sure wouldn't say "no" to a library either though.

Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) has libraries.

Why not carry a Kindle or a book that you want to read?

The entire thread was full of reasonable people reasonably suggesting things like this and the OP being sarcastic and dismissive in response, guess she really wants those libraries

It’s not just about the books, it’s about the experience.
