What are some things that are different at airports and on planes that you could do pre-9/11 that you can't do now?
You used to be able to stop your car and park right in front of the ariport and go in and get the person you're waiting for....of course you can't do that now...
Anybody?
I visited the cockpit of a BA 757 and chatted with the pilots - in the air, halfway between London and Moscow.
Obviously there are lot of mundane things that you can't do now - for example, you typically can't go to the gate to greet an incoming passenger (although I think the airline can grant you a security pass if you are meeting a child, elderly person, etc.).
