Did air travel get (gasp) easier? (lemmy.world)

I just went through airport security and was quite surprised how easy it was (relatively speaking). Didn't have to go through a body scanner, didn't have to separate liquids, didn't have to take out my laptop, and my boarding pass wasn't even scanned. Did some rules change? Is their thoroughness related to terrorist threat levels?

I was going to sign up for pre-check and then I realized I hated the idea. You have to let them do a full background check on you, give your fingerprints, register all of your information, and pay money just to be afforded the same decency that used to be standard. I hate everything it represents.
