The equilibrium phenomenon that occurs when someone is constantly either late or early for catching their bus/train/subway/metro. On subsequent journeys, there will eventually be a balancing between earliness/lateness. It all evens out in the end.
Damn, I missed my bus by one minute! Well at least the laws of public transportation karma state that I'll get there in the nick of time on another day in order to make up for this

I think I’m going to cancel my service with Comcast. The transportainment on the bus everyday is way more interesting than anything on TV.

Get the transportion mug.Electric whale transports are three or four-wheeled electric carts that people, almost exclusively elderly or morbidly obese, ride around on in stores, malls, or anywhere else that requires walking a distance greater than from the couch to the refrigerator.
I was in a hurry to get out of Target, but some fatty in an electric whale transport was holding up the checkout line.

Get the transportation mug.(US GOVERNMENT) Agency in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Mostly a new entity, which is perhaps the single most conspicuous domestic policy failure of the US government since 2000.
The TSA's job is to inspect baggage carried on flights at 450 international airports in the USA. Implementing this mandate simply consisted of "federalizing" thousands of private-sector employees who had been woefully under-qualified. Initially, the DHS had been formed explicitly to break law enforcement unions (which contribute to fighting corruption in law enforcement, as well as protecting law enforcement officers' rights as employees). In the case of the TSA, this had disastrous consequences for the quality of air travel.

The Transportation Security Administration has one mission, namely, to check passengers and luggage at 450 international airports across the USA. It does not inspect freight or border entries; that is done by Customs and Border Protection. For this function, it employs 45,000 screeners under lousy conditions with awful pay. And it spends more doing this one thing than Sweden spends on its entire military.
