Airlines next in line for bailout $$$
After all, when folks decide that they prefer to have consensual sex with a partner of their choosing instead of some TSA perv...people WILL stop flying.
I guess the government will have to bail out this industry next.
As far as I go...I wouldn't fly if you gave me the tickets.
Luckily I don't HAVE to.
Feel really sorry for those who do.:(

1. I'm one of the few that doesn't mind the tsa procedures. I fly quite often and..
..I just don't pay much attention or ever care when I'm patted down.
(but I do understand that there are people that don't like being touched)

2. Yeah, I was getting fed up with flying even before 911. Tighter
seats, crowded, long lines, testy flight attendants and counters ... on and on ... fortunately, I was able to quit all together too. In some cases it's also easier/quicker to drive between major cities than the crowds, lines and all at airports and also the weirdness now of being stranded on some plane wating for takeoff.

There's just way too much weirdness now with flying.

3. Well sure there's going to be a bailout for the airlines
But the enhanced TSA procedures were secretly a bailout for Amtrak :evilgrin:
