Why hasn't commercial air travel gotten any faster...
I have vivid memories from childhood hugging my grandma before flying right at the gate. Unfortunately people have a short memory. Kids these days will have no memory of how free of a country we lived in even 25 years ago.

Buy a refundable ticket, go through security, cancel ticket.
People do it all of the time for other reasons.

I’d rather we could have nice things.

And the airport is already crowded. The last thing we need are people not even flying anywhere.

They'd be less crowded if you didn't have to show up 3 hours early

So now are we saying that there should be no security? Do you not remember when there was literally an average of one hijacking per day?

On the contrary, not having to hang out with somebody at the airport before they leave is such a gift.
