I'm old enough to remember when boarding an airplane needed no ID and a baptismal certificate from the local church was sufficient for proof of name and age.
Was speaking with some very smart college kids about just this and the progressive-lefits-statist security state we now have. They weren't old enough to remember and experience 9/11 as it happened, but at least they understood and commented: "9/11 must have really been a watershed for the implementation of these things." I was like - UH YA THINK?!
I’m old enough to remember when I boarded an airplane with my cased Remington 870, handing it to the stewardess, and her handing it back to me as I got off the plane.
