Imagine that final scene from Casablanca where Rick tells Ilsa she has to get on the plane and she walks away towards the plane and up the stairs with Laszlo and out of his life forever. Now imagine that same scene, only instead Ilsa and Laszlo have to work their way down a turnstile towards some minimum wage earning knuckle dragger who inspects their ID cards. They then strip off everything they're wearing that has metal in it before walking through the metal detector and back through the metal detector and back through the metal detector until finally they make it to the final stage where another rent-a-cop inspects their shoes for possible terrorist footwear tendencies. Then, finally she walks up the stairs and out of his life forever. Unless of course she's been randomly selected for a thorough pat-down and having her luggage checked over by bomb-sniffing dogs. The department of homeland security has really fucked up our romantic exits is what I'm trying to say.
