Has anyone flown recently? I have a trip planned for next month and I'm dreading the security situation. I've heard you need to arrive 3 hours early now, no more meeting people at the gate, and random searches are intense. How bad is it really? I haven't flown since September. |

Flew last week. Get there early, be patient, don't bring anything that looks remotely suspicious. They confiscated my nail clippers. But the actual flying was fine — planes are less crowded because people are afraid to fly. |

The National Guard soldiers with rifles at the airport are unsettling. But the actual security process, while slower, wasn't as bad as I expected. |

Bring a good book. The wait times are real. But honestly I'd rather wait an extra hour and feel safer. |
