The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has sparked debate about airport etiquette after recommending that travelers bring hammocks to airports so they can relax during long layovers.
Etiquette Expert Weighs In
Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert based in San Antonio and founder of The Protocol School of Texas, said most travelers understand that delays and layovers can be exhausting — but that doesn’t mean personal comfort should come at the expense of others.
“Bringing your own hammock through security for the specific reason of setting up camp is not considerate of others in a tight public space,” Gottsman told Fox News Digital.
Permission to use hammocks inside terminals usually depends on individual airport rules and applicable local rules.
The post sparked debate online, with some social media users arguing that airports have become too casual.
Others pointed out that the TSA only determines what passengers can bring through security checkpoints.
Some travelers, however, fully embraced the idea.
