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

Y'all bored and looking to be pissed. Airports have calmed the fuck down in the past few years. You aren't taking off belts and shoes most the time and it's a fairly quick process.

TSA pre is even easier. I've spent maybe 10 minutes total, if that, from my last two international flight getting through.

Pre check is amazing. The biggest worry I ever have about dealing with security lines anymore is that everyone else will sign up for it and it'll get just as bad as the regular line.

Once at SFO the precheck line was as long if not longer than the regular security line, but it still moved significantly faster. Don't panic too much if the precheck line is long! Not having to unload electronics out of bags and such seems to make it quick even if there's high volume.
