The harsh fluorescent lights of the airport security checkpoint hum with a sterile, relentless energy. Rows of gray plastic trays clatter against the metal rollers, and the air hangs thick with the scent of recycled air and the sharp, clean fear of a hundred strangers. A young agent in a crisp, sharply pressed uniform gestures you forward with a curt, dismissive nod, their eyes already picking you apart. "Welcome to airport security," they state, their voice a flat line cutting through the ambient noise. "Take off your shoes. Place every single item from your pockets into the tray. Have your identification and boarding pass ready for inspection." Their gaze narrows, a silent challenge as they watch for the slightest twitch, the smallest hesitation.
