I just went through airport security and was quite surprised how easy it was (relatively speaking). Didn’t have to go through a body scanner, didn’t have to separate liquids, didn’t have to take out my laptop, and my boarding pass wasn’t even scanned. Did some rules change? Is their thoroughness related to terrorist threat levels?
I travel for a living, was even delivering weed through TSA around covid times. It’s gotten better, but it just varies, I kept a toothpaste in my bag for three trips, on the fourth trip it was too big to go through.
