Relatable story here about security.
My dad is a pilot, and pre 9/11, I would sometimes join him as a kid on flights from Europe to the US. I still vividly remember walking with a backpack behind my dad in pilot uniform trough all the US airport "security" without them checking anything.
Fast forward several months after 9/11: even the pilot had to take off his shoes and get them checked.
Flying really was amazing and luxurious in the 90'ies. On the other hand: the price has gone down a lot making flying a lot more accessible.
