Airports hate these sneaky hacks that can save travelers money this summer, experts say
Airports can seem over the top with their food and beverage prices — but according to travel experts at eShores, sometimes splurging will save you money in the long run. The experts claimed that travelers are wasting their money on 'unnecessary' add-ons for flights, such as early boarding and seat selection, when they should be allocating their money elsewhere. Instead of shelling out money on these frivolous options, the specialists advise spending on extras that will enhance the overall travel experience. Here are the expert-backed add-ons that are worth the splurge and the ones that should be avoided. The experts told the Daily Mail that lounge passes are worth the extra money. The eShore team claimed that the pricey cost of airport lounge access might end up being less money travelers would eventually spend on meals and drinks at the terminal. An airport meal can range from around $20 to $50, while access to a lounge can cost approximately $40 to $60 per person and includes so much more. Another pricey add-on worth looking into is fast-track security, which allows passengers to get their belongings checked in a separate private lane with a reduced wait time. Investing in a program like TSA Pre-Check or CLEAR, or sometimes even third-party services, will help passengers get to their lounge or gate faster. Day trip excursions are also worth the money, according to experts. Rather than paying for separate flights and accommodations while traveling, globetrotters can save a buck by booking an organized day trip. An excursion can offer benefits such as visiting multiple destinations at a cheaper price, which can also include meals and transport. While some perks are worth the money — many others aren't, such as early boarding. The eShore experts claim that paying extra for early boarding is 'rarely' an advantage, especially if a traveler already has an assigned seat. 'Early boarding doesn't guarantee faster departure times; you'll still disembark in the same order,' the experts told the outlet. 'Unless you have mobility needs or are travelling with very young children, it's money better spent on your actual holiday.' Some budget airlines charge passengers to choose their seats on a plane. But the experts claim this isn't worth the money — especially for short flights. 'For short-haul flights under two hours, for many people, being separated isn't the end of the world (and might even mean a bit of quiet time),' they explained. 'Unless you're flying with young children or sitting with your travel companion is a must, this is an easy cost to skip.' Unless you're going on a longer trip, paying for checked luggage might be a waste of money. The experts advise travelers going on a weekend getaway or trips that are just a few days long to skip checking a bag and instead utilize carry-ons. 'With smart packing techniques (think compression cubes and versatile outfits), everything you need for a long weekend or week-long city break can easily fit in hand luggage.'

T-Mobile's new partnership will ease major customer concern
T-Mobile has been under fire due to privacy issues lately. The company was accused of recording users' screens by default in its T-Life app – a feature that was supposed to improve the user experience, but which had many app users very concerned about T-Mobile potentially spying on them. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Hackers also recently claimed to have stolen the details of around 64 million customers, which Cybernews confirmed, indicating that hackers had data with full names, birthdays, tax IDs, addresses, and more. T-Mobile denied that this recent breach occurred, but it wouldn't be the first time that customer data was made vulnerable, as T-Mobile is in the process of distributing payments to clients affected by a 2021 data breach as part of a $350 million settlement agreement. In light of all this controversy about T-Mobile's privacy policies and data security issues, it's not surprising that the "uncarrier" is looking for ways to appease customer concerns and reduce the risk of data falling into the wrong hands. As part of those efforts, the company recently launched a new partnership. This should help ease customers' fears about how, and with whom, T-Mobile is sharing their personal data. The newly announced T-Mobile partnership is with CLEAR, a technology company that provides identity verification services, including the popular service that makes it possible for pre-screened individuals to pass through airport security more quickly. CLEAR will be working with T-Mobile to implement its CLEAR1 identity verification platform in T-Mobile's employee verification process. This will make it possible for workers at T-Mobile to confirm their identity through a selfie instead of using a fingerprint or a one-time PIN code like they did in the past. Related: This T-Mobile free phone offer may be its hottest deal yet T-Mobile's SVP of Cybersecurity Mark Clancy has described this step as an important one in light of the rise of cybersecurity threats. "As cyber threats grow more complex and bad actors become more sophisticated, further securing T-Mobile starts with knowing exactly who's behind the screen," Clancy said. "CLEAR1 gives us a strong, identity-first approach that helps us build trust across our systems by verifying the person, not just their credentials. It's a key step in strengthening our identity verification and better protecting our infrastructure, teams, and customers." CLEAR's Chief Security Officer Jon Schlegel also believes it will help T-Mobile build more credibility on the issue of privacy and security, indicating, "Identity is the foundation of trust in every organization. CLEAR1 empowers businesses to strengthen security, reduce friction, and build confidence across their workforce." T-Mobile customers will likely be happy to have more clarity about who their customer service representatives are when they hand credit data over to them, especially in light of past security issues at T-Mobile. However, not everyone is thrilled with the implementation of CLEAR's identity verification model. Specifically, some employees have expressed concerns about whether this system will violate their privacy in the name of protecting customers. Related: T-Mobile shares game-changing tech, free for anyone to try To use the system, employees will likely need to provide both a valid ID and a face scan to CLEAR. If they don't, they may become unable to access the tools they need to do their job and help customers. Some reports also allege that CLEAR was collecting more information than necessary and was not making assurances that the data would be deleted if an employee was terminated. Employees would have the option to request that their information be deleted, but it would not necessarily happen by default.

But the bottom line is that the change is happening, and employees likely have few options as the carrier moves to bolster its reputation for protecting customer security and privacy.

Judge opens door to releasing Mahmoud Khalil as soon as this week
Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and legal permanent resident, was detained in March, the first of a number of noncitizen student protesters to be arrested by the Trump administration as it began to scrutinize the pro-Palestinian protests that shook college campuses last year. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up To justify Khalil's arrest, Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited a rarely used law, saying that Khalil's presence in the United States threatens the country's foreign policy interest of preventing antisemitism. Advertisement Farbiarz had already found that the law itself was likely to be unconstitutional. On Wednesday, he found that Khalil had shown he would be irreparably harmed were he not released. Khalil's 'career and reputation are being damaged and his speech is being chilled — and this adds up to irreparable harm,' he wrote. Though Farbiarz took longer than judges assessing similar cases to arrive at the conclusion that Khalil should not be detained, he also took a deeper look at the core constitutional issues informing the case, ultimately concluding that the law Rubio invoked could not be used as grounds for deportation. Advertisement 'Mahmoud has maintained since day 1 that the government should not be allowed to detain or deport him based on Rubio's say-so,' said Ramzi Kassem, a co-director of CLEAR, a legal clinic at the City University of New York that represents Khalil. 'Today, the court agreed, and ICE should release Mahmoud immediately so he can return to his home and family in New York City.' Another of Khalil's lawyers, Marc Van Der Hout, said that his legal team would write to the Homeland Security Department asking for confirmation that Khalil was to be released Friday and for help coordinating arrangements to return him to his family. But there is still an asterisk. Weeks into Khalil's detention, the Trump administration accused him of willfully failing to disclose his membership in several organizations when he applied for permanent residency, allegations that Khalil's lawyers have contested fiercely. Farbiarz wrote that it was 'overwhelmingly likely' that Khalil would not be detained based solely on those allegations. But it is not clear that he would be released Friday if the government were to argue that those allegations were, in fact, the reason for his detention. It is also plausible that the government could try to hasten Khalil's deportation on those or other grounds. Farbiarz noted that a bar he placed on deporting the Columbia graduate as related to the secretary of state's determination did not apply to efforts to remove Khalil from the country for other reasons. Advertisement Still, the ruling marks a victory for Khalil, whose wife and infant son are US citizens. He has been held in Louisiana for three months without being accused of a crime. And though his arrest set off an outcry from Trump administration critics who feared the free speech and due process implications of the case, his name had begun to disappear from the headlines as he has languished in a Louisiana jail cell. Khalil's wife, Noor Abdalla, said she was hoping he would be home to see his son this weekend. 'I will not rest until Mahmoud is free and hope that he can be with us to experience his first Father's Day at home in New York with Deen in his arms,' she said. The White House has accused Khalil of 'siding with' the terrorist group Hamas, but the administration has not provided substantive evidence that he expressed support for the group. Khalil's lawyers, on the other hand, have called attention to remarks he has made decrying antisemitism, including on CNN, where he said 'antisemitism and any form of racism has no place on campus and in this movement.' Several of Khalil's peers who also appeared to have been targeted by the Homeland Security Department for pro-Palestinian speech — including Rümeysa Öztürk, Badar Khan Suri, and Mohsen Mahdawi — were released weeks ago. And another legal permanent resident, Yunseo Chung, was never arrested at all after a federal judge barred authorities from detaining her on the same basis for which Khalil has been imprisoned.
