- **Published:** 2009-10-15

Airport security procedures at Chicago O'Hare and other domestic hubs show significant inconsistency regarding ID requirements for minors and the handling of personal items like scarves and shoes. The constant security theater and "Threat Level Orange" announcements are described as contributing to a "zombified" American public. This dehumanization of travelers is compared to the themes presented in the film Zombieland, suggesting a broader psychological shift in the United States.
