It's weird how airports feel like dangerous places to me now. I used to love to hang out in airports, especially SFO; I went there for no reason other than to hang out, read, and watch the travelers. Now I notice unattended bags and brace myself for the blast. Also I read a plane-crash story in a magazine yesterday before boarding. Guess I have something to prove? :P

I too used to love hanging around airports.

Now, you can't actually get near them here. I've never quite recovered from the tanks being parked outside Heathrow.

We don't go to Heathrow anymore, as I feel we'd be arrested, for just trying to go to the airport without a ticket. :-(

Very sad.

Airports freak me out more because of the feds than the people. It bothers me to see my fellow citizens treated like they're suspicious terrorists and I roll my eyes whenever I hear them talk about the national security threat level.

I don't like airports - just the smell makes me feel airsick. Bleah. But I hate flying, so it's clearly psychosomatic.

You are tough reading the plane crash story right before flying. It would freak me right out.
