Criticism

Results depend on the accuracy of the original listings, which are often poorly maintained or out of date, yet appear in search results.

gollark: Airport security would be marginally better if they at least had EXPLANATIONS for things.
gollark: What if the clothes are BOMBS?
gollark: Oh, and aeroplanes are somewhat less dangerous than cars, so if you discourage people from using airports via airport "security" and make them use cars instead, you're sort of causing additional deaths.
gollark: I'd want less "secure" travel, really.
gollark: Air travel is waaaay better than anything else for quite a lot of journeys, and trains, while sort of better, don't get implemented many places.
