Oh my god I completely forgot about stuff like the NY - DC shuttle. You could show up at LGA, walk up to the counter and buy a ticket for a flight that ran once an hour and be in the air literally within minutes.
The last time I remember it being that easy was probably 9/13/2001. An ex-girlfriend was trying to get to DC from MSP because her father worked in the Pentagon and she hadn't heard from him. She called me from the airport in a panic at 2AM asking for help because her credit card was declined. I drove to the airport, groggily handed the ticket agent my card and drove back home. She was probably on the plane before I got home.

Then a few weeks later came all the TSA crap...
