"It was not desirable that the proles should have strong political feelings. All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working-hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because, being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances. The larger evils invariably escaped their notice."

Recently, Finnair has started checking me in automatically, at least from HEL. I get an SMS the day before with my seat (aisle preference factored in) and gate details. I respond "A" to confirm, and I'm checked in. No lines. No hassles. Very civilized.
It completely breaks down at Heathrow of course.
