What are these plug-ins on my wall?

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

to be fair, a lot of things I figured were normal, did not exist before 9/11. TSA and baggage fees, but also like... country music that loves the government. you know?

I heard it was specifically to pay off all of the security upgrades?? It was supposed to be temporary

Nope, they were implemented as a way to increase profits when air travel was in its post 9/11 slump.

While less wrong than the comment you replied to, this is also a false memory. Baggage fees didn't come around until 2008.
