I always ask myself this, 'cause every time I go through inta at the airport, it feels kinda stressful and a little bit much. Like, yeah, I get that security's important after all that's happened in the past, but sometimes inta checks seem super strict. They make everyone stand in long lines, get patted down, take off their shoes, and answer questions—even if you’re just a regular person who’s never gotten in trouble.

I read that airports do this to stop bad stuff from happening, but sometimes it just feels like they're suspicious of everyone, even grandmas and little kids. I remember my aunt getting pulled aside for extra checks, and she was so confused and embarrassed. It just seemed unfair, honestly. I know they say it's to keep us safe, but is making people stressed out really helping? Maybe if inta checks were less strict but smarter, it would be better. Like, focus on real threats instead of treating everyone like they're hiding something. That’s just my take, but I bet a ton of travelers feel the same way every time they go to the airport!
