Day 1: Plane to Cloud Timeless.

           I walked into the airport not even feeling what I should have felt.Vacation. It wasn't that moment yet but it should have, I had just left my parents, gave them a big hug that my family usually don't deal with. Not even anxiety went through my stomach. Content and calm as could be, now this was strange. Standing in line not saying a word to Lauren, my older sister, all I could think about was: I wonder if there are two beds, I don't want to share one. Stupidest thoughts going through my head and not even one bad thought, more on the random side.Lauren and I stood in line for about and hour and a half to get our boarding passes, and I actually knew one of the ladies behind the counter. We went to school together. She didn't notice me. shucks!
           We received our boarding passes and kept traveling through the airport. Now going through an airport is like playing a video game. We passed Level 1, our reward was our boarding passes. Heading to Level 2, I realized this time was different than Switzerland. I traveled there one year prior to this trip. Customs use to be
easy, now I don't mean that in a terrorist kind of way. They use to be easy to keep on going, hard to lag things on the airplane. One being stupid hand sanitizer, what is my hands got dirty? But they changed the security around. It used to be a metal detector. NOW, it is this walk way were you stand face this huge black screen. There is a huge black screen to your rear as well. You stand there with your two hands over your head for about 10 seconds. And this so called scanner takes a naked photo of your front and back.
           Now I don't know who sees this but I sure would have liked to ask. But too nervous. I only wanted to be on that flight to Italia and not in a jail cell because I was asking question ab

out the security system.Think about it though.From the hair on your head to all 10 toes that you have AND EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE. Some man because I doubt the government would let a woman take that job, they would be to secretive of what they just saw is looking at your naked body. What does he say to the man that makes you wait to see if your scan was all clear? It creeps me out and makes me and a lot of others feel uncomfortable. I understand why it is happening, do you not? Just thought I had the freedom and choice to show my naked body to whom I would like too.
           I stood there and felt this vibration right in the middle of my skull. To this day, I do not know if it was just myself, acting up, from being so angry. Or the radiations from the full body scanner ruining my body. The scan was finished and I walked out. But still had to wait 'til this man told me I was clear. Passed Level 2.
