• Stop that hugging!
Travelers leaving the New Zealand city of Dunedin better say their goodbyes at home, the Associated Press reports.
The airport's drop-off area will now restrict parting hugs to three minutes in an effort to prevent traffic jams.
Airport CEO Dan De Bono said officials hope to "keep things moving smoothly."
Not all travelers were accepting of the time limit, saying the rule "breached basic human rights." But, De Bono assured them, "We do not have hug police." [AP, 10/22/2024]
