Going to the airport today is pretty similar to having surgery.
First you plan ahead, make sure you’re showered and disinfected. You pack a small suitcase and pay special attention to what you can and can’t take with you – often referring to a list of prohibited items.
You call a cab, ’cause you can’t really drive yourself and you can’t afford to park there anyway.
Once you go though the reception activities and the paperwork it involves, you get an intimate physical exam.
Then you wait. And wait.
