A Way to End the TSA Thuggery
Stop Flying! just that simple. If enough people stopped flying and used alternate means of transportation, it would bring the airlines to their knees, they would go tits up - their shareholders would scream and guess what? That would resound on Capitol Hilll -

IT'S THE MONEY STUPID, IT'S ALWAYS THE MONEY
STOP FLYING

AFTER ALL, DO THEY CHECK YOUR UNDERPANTS WHEN YOU GET ON AMTRACK?

>DO THEY CHECK YOUR UNDERPANTS WHEN YOU GET ON AMTRACK?

But they do when you're getting on the bus:

btw: for those saying that only the rich fly, it costs more to take the train.

8. In some cases, it's WAY more $$ to take Amtrak.

7. A nice idea, but reality can be rather intrusive.
Not everyone has the luxury of spending more in terms of both time and money to take the train rather than fly.

And do you really believe increased security is not coming to both train and bus terminals near you? It's already begun.

9. Stop flying! Stay in your shitty town your whole life! Don't see the world!
...and wallow in your own ignorance!

Take a boat if you want to visit Asia. Only 10 days to get there and 10 days to get back...

Nah... I'll continue flying and enjoying life.
