Airport security is by far the most identifiable change for me personally. We never used to take shoes or belts off at airport security, we never walked through backscatter x-ray machines, we could carry liquids onto the plane and you could see your family or friends off at the departure gate even if you didn’t have a boarding pass.
Life was pretty different in the 2000s than it is today. That’s just called time.
It didn’t change everything, but it did change some things. We still take our shoes off to get through airport security, for example.

That’s not exactly a huge societal change.
