> Even with cash, you can't buy a plane ticket without handing over all your info. Which is a good thing!

Why is that a good thing? You used to be able to walk into the airport, pay cash at the ticket counter for a ticket, and get on the plane. Compared to the fantastic level of nonsense we put up with today?

In the 1974 political thriller The Parallax View, one of the characters boards a plane at LAX, and then purchases a ticket from the stewardess. It is the most jarring scene in the entire film.

In this film they used to trust people? What a novelty in today's society. I wish we had more of it.
