I had to sleep in JFK Airport once. I don't recommend it. The rats that come out at night are the size of a ~25 pound dog.

This is what happens when you're state/city doesn't upgrade your airport either. I just flew through SFO and DIA this past week and security was under 5 minutes because they dont rely on TSA staff for the majority of their functions.
I flew round trip to JFK from SFO. Departing SFO felt normal. JFK was a nightmare.
Oh yeah baby America is so back
Wow! When is this from? Thanksgiving 2017?
Flying is such a giant humiliation ritual, I have no idea why people even bother.

The greatest country on earth
I flew out of EWR on Friday and my flight left (the gate) on time. Now, we took off 30m late because of the traffic at our final destination, but security was 10m and we were on the plane on time. It was incredible. The longest wait was to get the kids some chicken fingers, that was like 30m.
Such a stimulated economy
I had to go through the Atlanta airport shortly after the “4 hour wait” stories started hitting. I showed up 3 hours earlier than normal to be safe, and when I got there they had every station manned and ICE was basically just waiving everyone through. Took me about 2 minutes to get through security.
Kind of illustrates how pointless TSA is in the first place, but I’d rather have had that four hour wait than have to be within 50 ft of ICE.
What is this? A No Kings airport?
Where are people even going? I know we're all kind of on that bandwagon where we just disassociate with the bad events happening everywhere right now as a defense mechanism but how does traveling make any sense right now? I just can't
Work. Studies. Family. Funerals. Escaping reality. Evading justice. Lots of reasons.
It feels worse in real life. I was there on Sunday. Cannot recall ever being in longer lines.
I can feel the stress and exhaustion emanating from this image.
