Which brings up an interesting idea. Wouldn't it be nice if the airport (or an airline for whom the airport is a hub) could sponsor "visits" like these? They can check you against any lists they have in advance. You can get a pass in advance so they will expect you to have no luggage. You'll be advised to leave anything metallic home. (You'll breeze through security.)

You can go to the airport and show that you still love planes. (I do. So do my son and daughter.)

I hear that airports are really suffering. Just like the efforts to visit NYC, this can be seen as patriotic.
