It’s amazing — I’ve flown within Europe in the last few years. No shoe check, barely any border controls once in the EU, no backscatter in some countries, all without begging their governments for permission not to be humiliated.

The orthodox Jew with a wife and 6 kids got full treatment at the Zurich airport few months ago. Including stripping, patting, emptying the luggage and testing powdered baby formula for explosives. My bag was on the belt until his was cleared, first row seat. It felt very unnecessary, but he did not blow up the plane afterwards, so yay!
