Finally, some good news for weary travelers. After battling long TSA lines and wait times earlier this year, airline passengers departing from Boston Logan International Airport now have the option to skip the lines and head straight to the gate, thanks to a new “first-in-the-nation” remote check-in pilot program, according to the Transportation Security Administration. “This is going to be a game-changer for so many people,” Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey told CBS News Boston. The pilot program, launched June 1, is being run in partnership with the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport)—an independent public authority that runs and operates the Commonwealth’s three major airports. It is the first off-airport security checkpoint in North America. How does remote check-in work? Instead of going through security at the airport, eligible travelers can print boarding passes, check bags, and clear security at a new, remote terminal i

Being a mother is a job that most of us do for at least 18 years straight. And it’s a 24/7 role that doesn’t let us take off nights and weekends. Then, provided that we‘ve done it properly, one day we’re out of a job. When our children grow up to become independent—as we raise them to be—we can feel alone and untethered. Imagine working at any job for 18 years and then being let go. How would that feel?
