You are correct that there is no Aloha.  When TSA took over the screening process  there went our unique culture.  I don,t know why a person needs a ticket to enter the terminal areas.  It makes sense to enter the airplane but that should be it  So goodbyes is  done on the sidewalks.  Not like before when you could go to the gate and see your beloved one boarded.  Same thing when they return.  Have to wait at the baggage area.  I always felt that this was unique, done only in Hawaii.  So, editorial wants to reassess security when the goal should be to reassess their  security function.
