I went to America on holiday and didn't get treated like a loving criminal at the airport when I was 8. 9/11 was after that and when I went back at the ripe old age of 11 a security guard pulled his gun on me for standing next to my parents' luggage in what was apparently a suspicious manner honestly even at the time I found it too stupid to be scary but lmao america

When I was kid before 9/11 I was in the airport with my family about to go on a vacation and the security guy gives us the standard questions about if we have any weapons, luggage from other passengers, etc, and I asked him if anti-tank missiles counted and he just laughed and waved us through and then my parents scolded me in private later for being a dumbass.

In the year 2,000 movies like The 6th Day starring Arnold Schwarzenegger came out and it was bad. After 9/11, movies like Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines starring Arnold Schwarzenegger came out and they were still not very good.

you might take things like vh1 "pop up" videos for granted, but pre 9/11 it was quite a novel concept

back then, gangs like "the crips" or "the bloods" was what frightened the white folk. after 9/11, well, i don't have to elaborate, i'm sure.

also my family crossed an Eastern Airlines picket line to get on a plane, and my dad almost fought a dude that had a sign that said "fly cheap, die cheap" because he got all up in his face. this was like 89-90? I dunno.

white american males did a lot of bombings, which is crazy because these days people think that it's all about the middle eastern men, but white men really stepped up their bomb game before osama showed them how it was done. i guess they mostly stopped out of shame of being upstaged like clowns.

Mad Monk posted:things like powerstrips and calculators had Y2K Compatible stickers on them, they were more innocent times for sure. There was a girl in my high school back in the mid to early 90's who couldn't pronounce her own name (Maria Trong became Mia Tongue) whose dad was convinced that the world would come to a screeching halt from Y2K, so be put a thick steelcase door on their basement and filled it with cots and emergency rations and jugs of water, and had a generator with an outside exhaust and a water purifier thing in the back yard. Only difference I remember is that you could get to the airport about 10 minutes before your plane left and still get onboard no problem. First class didn't even have to bother with security through some airlines/airports.
