My mom was visiting me right after 9/11 - As I was living on a military base, you can imagine the security involved with merely a month passing by. Sending her home, a month later, I had my cell phone out while she was going through the last security checkpoint in my view and I was almost tackled to the floor by security! No kidding! NO CELLPHONES! I am not sure how I missed that message. That was the first time and since then, I have become more aware. :)
Cell phones are better than a lot of cameras that people used to use. I can blow up the fine details of the fur on an animal or a blemish on a face. So, their argument loses credence with me, but, I guess they are choosing their arguments, plus. I know that security is ramped up and... and...and. I know I can take pictures inside the terminal at some airports, and others not so much. I find the regional airports generally better, but, remember, you probably have some serious money flying out of there over to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Who knows, right? I have to agree with you on the phones/cameras though.
I have become enamored with the regional airports, long before Covid, there is just a (usually) friendlier attitude that radiates off them. You always get great seating on their planes and the flight attendants are gracious.
New Bedford Regional is a nice airport, with pretty surroundings. It would make a nice jump-off for a little trip~ :) I like to watch the traffic from them on an odd day when I find myself near one. Even the touch-and-go is fun to watch. I truly enjoyed coming here with you! I want to thank you for taking us all along! Thank you always for your support~ Have a great weekend~
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Ohh glad you were not tackled down by security, and with my travels and world events I fully understand and accept the need for it, but having some security training it just frustrates me when it is done wrong or with a lack of common sense, or maybe I am just getting old and grumpy LOL
as I often say common sense just is not that common these days
