Amen. I refuse to even go into an airport. There is no way I could keep from walking around going "Baaaaaa! Baaaaaa!"
Having been employed by a national airline, the last out-of-town airline security conference I had to go to, I went to via Amtrak. When asked why I had done so, I had to reply that airlines, including our own were unsafe to fly on, the pilots being so incompetent and unskilled that they couldn't even be trusted with weapons the way a 6-dollar-per-hour security guard could.
Our business was off 25% since 09/11, and was continuing to fall when I moved into a more interesting and responsible line of employment. I'd estimate conservatively that it's around 50% now, based on the number of cancelled scheduled flights and more available seating.
