    You don’t even take off your shoes anymore

    That depends if you get precheck screening, no? And what airport you are flying in/out?

    I flew in to JFK last year and I didn’t need to remove my shoes when flying in, but needed to when flying back. And then this year, I flew in through PHL and needed to do that. And I had to be scanned in the spinning tube machine 3 different times before they gave up and groped me instead.

    Compared to most places in Europe: basically just throw your stuff up on the belt and go through a metal detector.

      It’ll vary but I haven’t had to do it at several airports for most of my travels and I’m typically flying at least 4-5 times a year local and international.

      I guess my point is, is really not that invasive or with long lines compared to immediate post 911.

      Out of all the shitty things in government, that ain’t the hill I die on.
