Ok, so I'm over my almonds hangup.
In any event, YYZ-YOW today was quite uneventul, with the exception that my 12:00 was cancelled. I really didn't have anything different in security here or there (I travel with a laptop; no suitcase since it was a day trip); no standy problems; indeed, I wouldn't have thought that things had changed had I a) not had those horrid memories in mind and b) noticing that a few AC seemed down in the dumps with today's announcements.
The point is -- I think that travel is going to come back quicker than people think. All one needs to do is one flight, and much of the concern dissipates.....and I think people will recover quickly.
