Don't you know but frankly it was a little all over the place before. Show your ticket or don't going through the body scanner is one I remember and the oddest was Memphis. Been through a lot of airports but the only one you not only had take your lap top out but turn it on.
And i left JAN with a pocketknife on a flight soon after all the changes, no questions. Unintentional, but realized it when I got to my destination. Was so used to carrying it that I just put it in the tray with my keys like usual when going through security.

It’s gotta be autism. You should see a doctor about that.
You should consult the casualty statistics for the Civil War and 9/11, and also the population figures for the corresponding times. EVERY major battle of the Civil War taken by itself was worse than 9/11. 9/11 is the worst in living memory…..on the mainland.

Ill never forget trying to resume business travel when the airports opened back up. I understood the safety concerns, and I know everyone was just doing their job, but you never knew what new security measure would be in place. And it wasnt consistent from airport to airport. The first few flights I took, armed military opened and inspected everyone's luggage.

At first I really missed being able to walk all the way to the gate to greet or drop off passengers. Now, im kinda glad we dont have extra people milling around concourse. And I lot of people have forgotten we used to do that.
Yeah, the greetings used to be at the gate. The send offs as well. I’ve done both, but it’s been so long ago hadn't thought about it in a long time.

I did this the other day cause I have mine on my keyring. It got flagged. Luckily I showed up early and could walk back to my car to drop it off and then get back in the TSA Pre line. Was a very funny 5 am moment at the airport.

The federal government is raiding multiple gas station, vape shops, and homes in the pine belt area right now. All of these places are foreigner owned, & generally middle eastern people. It's wild! Helicopters, military, law enforcement everywhere! Just saw it in Hattiesburg but reported all over the pine belt.
Well...bye.

I could go with worst in my lifetime for sure and I won't argue with anyone who feels it is the worst in history. It's too subjective and I can't really imagine what it was like to live through any number of past events, or periods of violence, in US history. We have quite a list.

I'll never forget that morning at work, and the whole day spent circled around a TV in the gym, wandering back to my office trying to take a stab at work, but ultimately just fixating on the TV and events, realizing that every single other work place in America was effectively shut down for exact same reason. It was unbelievable.
Strangely enough I closed on a house on 9/11. I had already been canceled twice and when the lawyer called that morning I said I'd cancel the sale. I didn’t know about the attack at that time, I was working.and didnt have a clue. I found out after having a celebratory dinner at a fine dining establishment named Bennagins and watching it on television.

Are you Jordan or LeBron?
I think trying to compare eras is dumb and also think people who get upset/triggered over the question are mentally immature.

If comparing across eras is gonna happen, then Robertson or Kareem or someone could be in the mix.

I grew up near Chicago in the 90s, so Jordan is a favorite of mine in the court and as a marketed figure.

Michael Jordan is the greatest ever. It’s a fact. It’s not a debate.

Debate who second was all you want.

Yes they do. And they have to say everything in such a certain little way and hear things in every little way that it has to fit their perfect little box.
Well, I wasn’t the one that called 9/11 the worst thing ever to happen to America on the mainland. That isn’t just my little box and I wasn’t the only one that mentioned it to you.
