The TSA has attempted to roll out more facial recognition in airports but has so far been blocked from doing so. Clear is stepping in to gather all that biometric data for them, in addition to the fingerprints and Iris scans they already have, and provid it to TSA directly while making a profit on the side from doing so.  “In the near future, Clear's new facial recognition system will electronically transmit members' digital identities to TSA's second-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) scanners, Clear says.” https://www.cntraveler.com/story/clear-at-airport-facial-recognition

Two Priests decided to go to Thailand on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as Priests. For once, they’d enjoy a vacation as regular people. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc. The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their 'tourist' garb. They were sitting on the beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a drop-dead gorgeous blonde in a bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them she smiled and said 'Good morning, Father,' and 'Good morning, Father.', nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests? So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them! Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a different colored bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them, said: 'Good morning, Father,' and 'Good morning, Father.' and started to walk away. One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, 'Just a minute, young lady.' 'Yes, Father?' 'We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?' - "Father, it's me,' she replied, 'Sister Agatha!" >*Originally posted to Reddit by boa_constrictor*

A Viking is out shopping when he comes across an old woman in a wheelchair crying. "What's wrong?" asks the Viking. "Well," the woman says, wiping her tears, "I have been living on my own for many months now, and my daughter and son-in-law have at last come to visit me. My daughter has brought me along on this shopping trip, but it's the first time I've really been out and about since losing the use of my legs. It's so disheartening." "I'm very sorry to hear that," says the Viking. "But at least your family is here! That should help to dry your tears!" "Yes," says the old woman, "but I really wanted to get something to surprise my daughter while she is in that shop trying on clothes, and with this accursed wheelchair I can't get around like I used to. "I was hoping to find an extra special cake or pie to celebrate their visit," she sobs. "Oh, I can't even bake my classic egg and bacon tart anymore, and I know my family always looks forward to that!" "You're in luck then. That place over there is the finest bakery in the country!" says the Viking. "So I hear," says the woman, "but the first floor is just breads and such. The fancy sweets and pies are all up on the second floor, and I can't get up there with my chair." The Viking thinks for a moment and says "Not a problem. I shall carry you!" With that, he lifts her from her wheelchair, hoists her onto his back, and trudges into to the bakery. After carrying her up the stairs and all about the display cases, he helps her bring a selection of delicious treats to the counter. She even finds her family favorite! The Viking then carries the woman and her purchases back to her waiting chair below. "I can't thank you enough! I'm so much happier now!" replies the old woman. "Who are you, kind sir?" But the Viking simply smiles and walks off without a reply. As he turns the corner out of sight, the woman's daughter appears at the bakery entrance. "There you are, Mom!" she exclaims with relief. "I was worried sick when you weren't where I left you. What have you been doing in there?" "Oh!" replies the woman "I've been through the desserts on a Norse with no name. It felt good to get our quiche Lorraine!" >*Originally posted to Reddit by arothmanmusic*
