Did air travel get (gasp) easier? (lemmy.world)

I just went through airport security and was quite surprised how easy it was (relatively speaking). Didn't have to go through a body scanner, didn't have to separate liquids, didn't have to take out my laptop, and my boarding pass wasn't even scanned. Did some rules change? Is their thoroughness related to terrorist threat levels?

??? Where did you fly? I flew just a few weeks ago on a domestic US flight and still had to do all those things.

Edit: There have been a couple of times many years ago where they let us keep our shoes and coats on before using the body scanner, but those seemed to be rare events. I think one of them was because they had special dogs out sniffing everyone in addition.
