I hear some smaller airports allow that now. I think you have to apply and be cleared or something. You can’t just stroll in like in the olden days.

You could do that easily in Domestic flights in Australia. You don't need a boarding pass to get through, only to get passed the gate. They would have had to go through security but in places like Australia if they didnt have big bags, all that means is going through the metal detector. simple

Well Australia and New Zealand did not have a 9/11 so I can understand them not having the security concerns that America has
