Twenty‑five years after the attacks that turned passenger jets into missiles, travel today feels safer than ever. Yahoo Lifestyle Canada notes that allowances have shifted from small knives to facial‑recognition scanners, while the Tampa Bay Times links the evolution of U.S. air travel directly to the legacy of Lockerbie and 9/11.

The changes affect every passenger, airline, and security agency still adapting to a threat‑focused environment. Homeland Security Today cites former TSA deputy administrator Holly Canevari describing how the post‑9/11 probe examined lax pre‑attack security, a point echoed by a Chicago‑area consultant featured on WBEZ.
