They MAY have been fixed, I won't even argue that point when it comes to the FAA anymore. However the new systems don't work well. That's a new one. We are compliant but, it doesn't work!!!!!!!! LOL :)

Boston Logan airport's system (in Nashua NH) isn't even INSTALLED yet. Won't be until sometime this fall at best.

paul - that news (as reported there) has been analyzed in two other threads here.

Their glowing conclusion has been shown to be "false and misleading advertising" - I just hope no one gets killed flying because of it.
