    I am leaving for home-I mean Houston-Thursday since my dad purchesed me an airplane ticket. Well with 9-11 and all, how early should I arrive to the airport, can my mom watch my plane take-off, can I bring a gameboy color onboard to play with during the flight, and should I be expecting a frisking? Man, this is awesome!

    I don't believe Continental would want to talk to a 14yearold.

    I flew about 1 month after 9-11 and it was not too bad. I flew out at 6:45am though on a Tuesday morning.

    The carrier was American West. They did a random search of all our bags on me and my wife on the way to Las Vegas, on the way back no search. I didn't mind though. Besides that just the normal baggage scanning and metal detector.

    I would get there at least 90 minutes before your flight, 2 hours if you are going during the day. You should be able to play your Gameboy before/after takeoff, they will make an announcement to turn off all electrical devices during takeoff/landing.

    Don't even mention the word "bomb" though, even if you are joking they will arrest you on the spot. Just be cool and have a good flight, you should be fine.

    non-passengers aren't allowed at the gates anymore and probably never will be again.

    I arrived two hours early and I made it through security with ease. So I was waiting for 1 hour and 45 minutes for my flight to arrive so I just walked around the airport board as hell. My mom was allowed to go back but she didn't want to wait the 1 hour 45 minutes and left. Good thing she bought me a sandwich before I left, the planes sandwich was as big as a baseball. Oh well.
