I hate how airports feel like militarized zones now (lemmy.world)

i vaguely remember being a kid and going there on a lark and watching the planes. now it's austere and cruel and cold, cops everywhere, plexiglass and line ropes

This thread seems to be split between people who remember flying post 9/11 and see how much it’s relaxed, and those who maybe haven’t.

I agree with OP that it doesn’t feel like a place where one can relax or just show up and hang out to watch planes. I also agree with others though that it’s currently not as bad as it’s been in the past.
