I was in junior high in 1999 and boarding is immensely different. You could go with your family to the gate or meet them upon arrival. I recall running down the exit to meet my grandparents as a child. I hear there are passes available but the feel now is all wrong.

Why no one set off a bomb in a TSA cattle line I cannot understand. USA built a perfect target. I assume the TSA is some sort of jobs program but I cannot understand who benefits from it.
