This whole incident, including the behavior of both the airline and the passenger, reinforces my dislike of flying.
With inconsiderate TSA perverts, inconsiderate crews, and inconsiderate passengers, if there is any reasonable alternative. I don’t fly.
But I'll drive now because I'm retired. A friend and I drove across country 2,200 miles one-way in three days to attend our high school reunion. We shared the driving duties and split the gas and motel costs. And then we repeated it all over again to get back home. Old guys road trip, six days on the road.
We didn't have to go through security or check our bags. We didn't have to take our shoes off. No one rummaged through the contents of our suitcases. And I didn't get groped once, which may not have been the case if I'd have flown.
We had a blast because......we didn't have to fly.
