Advertising and Security Check Tray
The heart rate increases the second you entry the terminal. There is a continuous sound of cheerful chatter, luggage wheels gently rolling across the cobalt blue floor, and mobile phones ringing. There are different emotions on everyone as you walk past, some people are depressed, excited or stressed out. The cue is long because it’s the early hours in the afternoon; the security grads are comfortably waiting for the passengers to place their properties in the security check tray. Each security uniforms display a shining gold badge that catches the eye; it’s so bright you have to wear sun glasses to look at the badge. The security grads are standing straight and are eager and delighted to help the next traveller.

A mother and her child are joyfully placing their properties in the security check tray. The little boy was obviously dressed to see someone special; wearing a dark blue jacket, a green and grey striped shirt underneath, his trousers are clean but you can recognize they have been worn a couple of times and he has spent much time on his knees probably playing with his bright yellow racing car he is now happily placing in the tray which is now passing through the security check. He jumps eagerly as the scanner beeps, a sigh of relief as the boy got his yellow car back.
As the time gets closer for takeoff, the more pressure; you just can wait to get on the plane but the time is dragging is like watching a snail run a marathon. I hear two business men behind me chatting about the weather in New York and the possibility of a snow. The disturbance of an airplane at a takeoff and the smell of an aircraft fuel. Young children listening to music on their mp3 player some even singing it out loud and playing video games as they wait for their gate to open. Voice on the public address announcing that flight 1907 is now boarding at gate A28. A Multiple of Billboards adverting different type of things the most eye catching one is the toothpaste billboard,

    We then get to the Screeners, which can detect anything! Except what the machine is missing are the employees that will be looking at it! Now to the fun part, this is when we get “felt up” by the security guards, and if were lucky enough we can even get strip searched. We dress and undress more times at an airport, then a stripper at a burlesque theater. Now on to the emptying of our pockets and the journey of our personal belongings on their way through a “cat-scan” looking machine! Then we walk through another machine that has a mind of it’s own which approves or disapproves of us. I feel so bad for the passenger that has to walk through about five times to see if there carrying anything illegal on board! In the end the employees find out that the “BEEP” noise that was coming from the machine for the last five minutes was because of the metal plate in the passengers knee, who would of thought? That is also where you get the twenty-one questioner, “ Are you carrying any guns, knives, or any type of explosive?”, “ Do you plan to blow up the plane?”, and “ Was hijacking a plane written down in your planner?”…

    Travelers must check in at least two hours before their flight takes off, and family can no longer walk with you to the gate; only ticketed passengers go through security. There are restrictions on what travelers can bring, which can be an inconvenience. Liquids and toiletries have to be a certain size and placed in clear, sealed bags if placed in carry-on bags. Drinks are not allowed through security; if you want to bring a drink on the plane, it must be purchased once you cross through security. We must remove our shoes, belts and empty pockets. Full body airport scanners, which has received complaints of not being safe, are now used as they can detect much more than metal objects. Many government buildings and schools have since installed security devices and scanners to enhance protection. The assumption that we are safe is gone; we must be proactive and be…

    “Passengers flying Flight QF563, your gate is now open for boarding”, I peacefully sipped what remained of my coffee and waited for Joshua to finish his bacon and egg roll. Shortly after, we began to make our way to our designated gate. The smell of low-priced takeout food filled the air and couldn’t help, but leave me feeling overly excited. My son and I navigated our way through the clustered crowds of other keen travellers, following the signs above our heads as well as the announcements that were played through the speakers at the airport.…

    It is 8:44 as I tediously begin sorting out my notes and papers of past meetings, the clock ticks by. 16 seconds…17 seconds…18 seconds I count in my head.

Looking closer, a terrifying realization hits me, it’s too low, it’ll hit the building. The sound of people running teases my ears. 30 seconds…31…

    For most of the 100 or so sleepy-eyed people boarding the U.S. Airways shuttle to Boston from New York on a recent hazy Saturday morning, the 35-minute flight could not have been a bigger non-event. But that was not the case for about 20 passengers clustered nervously near the gate. Many clutched puzzle books and bags of sour candy as though they held talismans. Some made nervous jokes, others sobbed quietly. “I have pills with me just in case of an emergency,” said a teenage girl who planned to distract herself on the flight with celebrity magazines. Mariasol Flouty, a 44-year-old software developer from White Plains, held fast to her Sudoku book. “I had plane-crash nightmares,” she confessed. “I woke up very tense.” No one was more terrified than Beth Brenner, a 45-year-old mother of two teenagers from Somers, N.Y. “I was hysterical last night,” she said, “but my son said, ‘You’re going to be O.K.’ ” Ms. Brenner was crying quietly on the…

    Right before take-off I remember everything. Everyone pushing and shoving to get all their bags in the overhead storage bins, the flight attendants getting angered with people telling them to be seated. All the screens in the plane turn on and give the same white screen up until the pilot turns on the GPS system and then all you see is the plane in Miami and a map that goes all the way to Jerusalem with a blue line in between Miami and Jerusalem. Then right after the TVs come on…

    "Open the door!" spoke a bulky military gentleman with a gun in his hand. "What’s going on?" My mother asked with a voice of panic and confusion. “They are here for us.” My father informed us as he began to pack our suitcases. "Just gather your items and go! If you are not out of this apartment in 15 minutes, you and the masses living here will be shot dead!” complained the bulky man with a voice comparable to nails being dragged on a chalkboard. With the dismay of dying, following orders became the best thing to do. In less than 12 minutes of standing outside with our suitcases, the concern that was inside us advanced. To our bewilderment, the generality in the building was evacuated as well. However, within 4 minutes, the officers went back inside to investigate if other…

    It’s almost four o’clock in northern Maine on a cool spring morning. Bags are rustling and seat-belts are unbuckling as everyone starts to get out of their seats and into the isle, waiting impatiently, to stand on American soil once again. While walking into an empty airport terminal, one by one, with a bag over our shoulders and rifle in hand, the muffled sounds of clapping starts to hit our ears. Nearing the opening between terminals the vibrating sounds of clapping and cheers grows closer and closer, louder and louder. We arrive to an opening between terminals, where a group of people we have never seen before are standing. Some are holding American flags, some are wearing red, white, and blue t-shirts; others are wearing insignia of their units serving in Korea and Viet Nam. As we pass, they shake our hands and say, “Welcome home heroes, we are so proud of you. Thank you for your service.”…

    “Welcome to Los Angeles. The time is 5:42 P.M. pacific standard time. We hope you enjoyed your flight and we thank you for choosing Eva Airlines. You may pick up your luggage at baggage claim seven.” I vividly remembered this announcement playing as my family waited to pick up our luggage. Naively, I asked my dad if he was excited about moving to America from Vietnam. His response surprised me: “Moving to a new country means starting a new chapter of our life, so if anything, I’m worried.” I didn’t know what to think at that point. My excitement was overtaken by the fear of the challenges waiting ahead of me and my family.…
