Security Age

The modern era, in which people in a variety of settings are given extra scrutiny to determine if they are truthful about their identity and their rights which they assert, the world has increased amounts of monitoring, and big brother has an overall more watchful eye.

Unofficially, the Security Age began on September 11, 2001.
Everyone is considered suspicious until proven not a terrorist in the Security Age.

Many things that were easy before the Security Age began are now a hassle.

During the Security Age, only ticketed passengers are allowed passed security checkpoints at the airport.

You go to a dry cleaner during the Security Age wanting to retrieve your clothes you dropped off, and the attendant says "ID please."

me-firsting

While driving, one of the following acts:

- When a light turns green (with no arrow), quickly making a left turn (or right turn where driving is on the left side) before the first cars in the opposing traffic, which have the right-of-way, have a chance to go.

- Use of a lane designated for a specific purpose, such as turning, to pass other stopped or slower cars.
You are "me-firsting" or "me firsting" if:

1.) You get a good jump just when the light turns green to make a left. This depends on the cars about to go the other way that you would otherwise have to wait for getting a slower start.

There is also a move called a Pittsburgh left where the opposing driver allows the motorist to make the left turn as a courtesy.

2.) If there is a left-turn, right-turn, exit-only, or temporary merge lane, and you plan to go straight, but there are more cars going straight than turning, and the special lane is clear, making use of one of these lanes to pass and get ahead of other cars is called me-firsting. This could take place during a traffic jam on a highway or when the light will not allow enough time for all the cars to proceed through on a single cycle, but will allow the "me-firster" to do so if able to pass.

The lane used as such to the motorist is called a me-firsting lane.

In any of the above examples, it is easier to "me-first" in front of or before a truck or an older car with a slower engine.

The laws vary in every place as to what is allowed, and what punishments can be when laws are broken.
