Thanks, but I remember things from 20 years ago and this is an exaggeration in many ways… Or perhaps I should say multiple exaggerations.

I remember things from 20 years ago too. Absolutely none of what I said was an exaggeration. Many of these are facts which you can google.

Things were far more noticeably different 40+ years ago (which I also remember).

Sure. Things were way more different 60+ years ago, way way more different 80+ years ago, and way way way more different 100+ years ago. That's not the point though.

Oh, and for what it’s worth, it’s still not illegal to bring a full water bottle on a plane. You just can’t bring one through security so you have to buy it in the airport after the checkpoints.

Ok, you got me there. I should have said:

(cheating a little here, but I would be remiss not to mention this) In 2000, it wasn’t illegal to bring a full water bottle past airport security.
