During this time I usually take a quick peak at myself in the two-way mirror that hides the inevitable security camera above the terminal.

We, as a populace, have become very accepting of being watched [insert link here to article about our creepy, paranoid, president], we just don't want to know about it. I mean, who wants a camera pointed at your mug while you pocket a stack of Jacksons (that's right bitches, a STACK).

Moral of the story, be sure you combed your hair before getting your money, because they'll be watching you.
