No One Is Okay at the Airport

We’re back and we’re airborne, sort of. With the holiday weekend ahead we’re talking everything that’s wrong with air travel, starting with the TSA gaslighting us for two decades straight. Laptops out, laptops in, shoes on, shoes off, belt on, belt off, nobody knows the rules anymore, and somehow, we’ve all just accepted it. We’re also talking fellow passengers behaving like full-on criminals before the plane even leaves the gate, the unspoken marital warfare that is childcare at 35,000 feet, and the real debate on clapping when you land: is it only earned when it feels like a celebration of life, or are you out here clapping for a plane just doing its one job? Plus, the real question: if you clock something on the stranger next to you’s phone that says their “business trip” is not exactly business, do you say something? We have thoughts.
