Yeah, all except for the slug where Matthew opines: "he?ll stay away from airports and avoid flying until the government convinces him they?ve taken concrete steps to improve safety and security."

Geez, federal-run airport security. I get this picture of Postal Service efficiency combined with the level of courtesy one expects from the IRS.

Cheers...

Lol! I think the airports should be responsible. With the US Government, there's no feedback mechanism to keep it working right.

I love the reason he gives for not flying, though. The main reason I have no plans to fly (barring the possible massive fare cut) is because of the abomidable security experience itself.

I originally missed the part where he gave reasons to not fly. Personally, I think that I could get on a plane now. If I go to Portland, however, I'm wondering if it's worth it to get to the airport two hours early for an one-hour flight.

Even driving to LA looks better than flying right now.

LOL. That is a scary thought.
