“crying can be as reflexive and uncontrollable as hiccups. How dare they demand you stop.”
That’s exactly what it was — a visceral reflex and stress release. After weeks of family being tightly wound and trying to be strong as he faded, when he died, the bottled-up emotions needed to “let go”. It was a reflex more than sadness at that point.
I have to fly in July and am terrified — not of the flight, but of the TSA thugs. It’ll be between smaller airports this time, so maybe it won’t be so bad.
I fly often enough to have seen that the smaller airports are better.
As soon as the terrorists figure this out, they will never again enter from a major aiport. They will enter in Ottumwa Iowa or some place like that. Then travel from these places will become just as restrictive and intimidating as places like Detroit or O’Hare.
