We were on one of the first planes out after they resumed flying. I
figure the chances of the flight attendants having to subdue a passenger
on our flight is infinitesimal - the chances of us being in a fatal car
accident on the drive to the airport are higher, as are the odds that
we'll see someone being subdued and restrained at our local supermarket.

The check-ins didn't really take long at all. In Tucson we got to the
airport 3 hours early but they wouldn't let us check in until 2 hours
early. There was no line. We played cards for a while, checked in (same
routine, although about one in 10 poeple were having all of their luggage
searched), went through the metal detector (we had to show ID and tickets
again here, but it didn't take long) then played cards and browsed in the
shops until we got on the plane - which was on time - and had a pretty
uneventful ride. On the way home a week later, there was a longer line,
but no longer than it usually is in Oakland. I decided at the last minute
that I probably shouldn't try to bring my knitting needles on the plane,
so I stuck them in my checked bag. One woman ahead of us ended up
throwing away a pair of nail clippers because they weren't allowed in her
carry-on and she didn't want to check anything.

I agree with whoever wrote about going on with our lives.
