There are signs that say this is a no smoking airport.
There are announcements not to accept items from unknown persons to bring on board.
Do we still need these reminders?
Third-pound burgers.

The products are much the same as they were 30 years ago, but nowadays they're covered in freaking labels. You stick something up in an oil rig or chemical plant, and it's covered in shit within a few weeks so you can't see the tiny little writing on the label anyway, but hardly anybody writing the rules has left their nice comfy office in 25 years, so they have no freaking idea what it's like.
What we really need is for people to stop being morons.
Adding warning labels is a lot easier. Obviously, nobody reads them.
