How has the depiction of airport security in comic strips evolved, particularly reflecting real-world changes?

The depiction of airport security has significantly evolved. Prior to 9/11, security checks were often more relaxed, if shown at all. Post-9/11, comic strips began featuring more intense and often absurd security procedures: full-body scanners, mandatory removal of shoes and belts, liquid restrictions, and detailed pat-downs. These are frequently used to highlight traveler frustration or the perceived invasiveness of modern security measures.
