Carter's plane handshakes have become something of a rite of passage for frequent flyers — you haven't TRULY flown until you've flown with the 39th POTUS and received a handshake.

People from all walks of life have experienced one of Carter's plane handshakes, including comedian Hannibal Burress, who told Conan O'Brien in 2014 that Carter should have hand sanitizer.
