This thread seems to be split between people who remember flying post 9/11 and see how much it’s relaxed, and those who maybe haven’t.

I agree with OP that it doesn’t feel like a place where one can relax or just show up and hang out to watch planes. I also agree with others though that it’s currently not as bad as it’s been in the past.
