You've heard me talk a lot about consumer cellular, and there's a good reason. You can switch carriers, save money every month, and still get the same reliable coverage. Here's why I made the switch. Consumer cellular uses the same towers as the big carriers, so you're not sacrificing quality to pay less. And when you call consumer cellular, you just don't get pushed to a robot or told to use an app. You speak with a real person, someone knowledgeable right here in the U.S. No bots, no scripts, no hassle. The best part, you don't pay extra to speak to a human being like some big carriers are doing now. So whether you make the switch online, over the phone, or in one of their stores, you'll always work with a real person.
Make the switch today and get $25 off at ConsumerCellular.com. And if you're over 50, get one line of unlimited talk, text, and data for only $35. Plus, get an additional $5 off for the first five months. That's ConsumerCellular.com. ConsumerCellular.com. Right now, about one out of every ten TSA agents is calling out during the partial government shutdown. Wait times in hubs like Phoenix and Atlanta have reached five hours. Because of the chaos, the official TSA website isn't even tracking times anymore. With official wait times offline, here's your game plan. Download the Q-Sensor app. It has the Add Your Time button so travelers in line can report real wait times by terminal. Check there before you ever leave for the airport.
Another great app, Kayak. You know it for cheap flights, but its airport travel assistant bypasses the broken TSA website. It pulls data directly from local airport sensors and real-time travel reports. And if your airline offers touchless ID, just use it. Those biometric lanes are moving while everyone else is standing still. Get my free weekly AI newsletter at splashofai.com. Next up, a call for my weekend show, the Kim Commando Show. Enjoy. Hey, you know that glow that you see on people just seem to radiate health. It's not just great lighting, it's what's happening inside their body. And as one of the best kept secrets to looking and feeling amazing is in fact collagen. You see, as we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, thinning hair, brittle nails, and feeling less flexible than we used to.
But the good news is that you can support your body naturally. With high quality collagen from Natapath, You're giving your body the building blocks it needs to support smoother looking skin, stronger nails, and shinier hair. And some studies also suggest that collagen supplements may help support bone health. You see, it's not about turning back time. It's about feeling your best at any age. And right now, as a Kim Commando listener, you can get Natapath Collagen for just a fraction of the retail price. Plus, you get free shipping and a free gift bundle.

Byron in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, welcome aboard. Glad to have you with us.
Good afternoon. How are you doing today, Kim?
Wonderful, wonderful. You have a great voice, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
So I understand that you are a professional pilot.
That's correct. I fly for an airline. And I was listening to your show and read your article on AI for aircraft. And I responded to it because I find it very concerning. I don't think I'd get on one of those.
Well, we're talking about planes that don't have any human pilots, right? Exactly, yeah. But there's a guy or gal on the ground that's controlling it kind of like a joystick.
What are the current TSA wait times and their impact?
I remember reading your note, because I was astounded by the number of hours of flight time that you have, 30,000, that's incredible.
Well, I started when I was 14 years old. I sold a glider.
Oh, did you?
And I got, I came out of high school with my flight instructor certificates.
