Are you claiming that there are metal detectors and agents at every single entrance at every airport you've been in?
Are you confused as to what a terminal is?
Maybe I should have started all this by saying I’m not an airport expert. I’m a dude who has flown on planes before.
I’ve always understood the terminal to be the waiting area that the plane pulls up too—in other words, the journey terminates at the terminal gate. Yes, I have only ever seen that area assessable after you’ve passed security—at least it’s been that way post 9/11.
If there is some nuance here where a terminal includes some parts outside of security, just say that. The tone I perceive in your post seems to be trying to make me look like a fool, and I don’t appreciate it.
FWIW, I'm a dude who has flown on planes before and my understanding of terminals was the same as yours.
Toronto Pearson, eg, has 2 terminals (1 & 2).
That's what they are named. Because that is what they are.
There are at least a dozen places to eat, pre-security.
I've been there over 3000 times since 2013. And eaten there many of those times.
Top of my head, I've been in 40 international airports, and except for Havana, I've never been screened pre-departure area.
Maybe my understanding was mistaken then? In my defense, I haven't been on a plane in like well over a decade lol
You must be lost, bud. Reddit is that-a-way.
