My father's job included a lot of travel, so I've traveled through airports and out of the country for more than 30 years. The humanity from travel has been stripped from all of us, in spite of this I have the deepest sympathy for the writer of this article because while my humanity feels ignored while I travel due to corporations choices of how we are to be treated on their planes I am still in the "real american" category she* spoke of. The greatest of my fears are having to sit next to someone who needs as much of the small provided seat I need causing us to have to "suck in" our shoulders so they only sort of lean on each other. I don't have any text conversations on my phones or emails that would flag anything but in the same breath, I've never had to think or worry about that either. edit: fixed gender issues.
