shenuhina: I have never stated one should not go to the airport when one's family member is leaving or coming here. I have also stated that I have gone many times with my family to see them off. However, the problems arise when three colleagues go to see off a friend or receive him. During the rush season, the 3+3+3+3 adds up to hundreds of "unwanted" people crowding the airport. That is why the security people get a bit strict during this period. As for the respect side, there are people who tend to argue with the security people when they are stopped from entering and this sometimes leads to unpleasant situations.
Just drink a cold glass of lemonade and read my posts again, please.
