If you know the rules, the process of going through security at the
airlines is not that different than it was 10 years ago. You take your
computer and put it in a tray. You take your ziploc of shaving cream and
toothpaste samples and put it in a tray, with your phone and your wallet
and your shoes, and walk through the metal detector. It's really not all
that complicated. And taking off your shoes isn't quite stripping naked.

The problem is not the difficulty of the procedure, it is the
implications. Your laptop (at least for an international flight) is
subject to siezure and search. Your luggage is gone through by TSA (you
just have to "trust them"). I have had things damaged and my personal
papers gone through. You can't take a bottle of Sonoma wine home in
carry on any more. You are only permitted three ounces of liquids,
which is not enough to drink. (Just trust the airlines to have water
for you if the flight gets delayed. Trust the flight attendants to not
be testy too.)

Our children are getting used to being searched like this, and will grow
up thinking it's normal. (It's not just airlines. Stores, schools, and
websites do the same thing.)

But it's ok. Ziplog bags protect us from terrorists. Just obey.
