I use to love going to the airport; now it's a stressful ordeal.

It was definitely more special back then. The whole fam used to go to see someone off, when they return they’re back again waving, smiling, and so happy.

That it was pretty awesome and you didn't need to be there 2 hours early.

God know what these white right wing terrorists would do in this climate

They successfully used fear to take away our freedoms…

Shout out to the Underwear Bomber. All he wanted was for people to take off their drawers just like the shoes. He was a JBO Goon at heart.

It's still almost like this at really small airports.

Flying out of ATL or New York is hell but flying out of El Paso not so bad.

As soon as that first plane hit the tower we stepped right into a new timeline. I wonder what the world would look like right now if 9/11 never happened.

My dumb ass would always leave my passport at home as a kid, I swear I remember a time when I when you could cross the US/Canada border without one.

Maybe it was only for children flying as a Unaccompanied Minor.

I used to flex that UM badge lol


Flying first class because you couldn't be too far away from the flight attendant

We would have had a mass shooting on a plane or airport by now and been under the same restrictions
