DHS was created after 9/11. Most car rental places won't rent to people under the age of 25.

There's maybe a few month period between the birth day cutoff and the founding of the DHS.

Read my comment again. The assertion I was responding to was "Do you not remember", not were you not alive.

I'm well past the minimum age for renting a car, but I would not say that I remember airport security before the TSA - because I didn't experience it enough for it to have left any impression.

I do remember a much more recent trip to a foreign country, where on the return we were just walking through an airport hallway when I realized we had just gone through the security point. That is the way to do things.
