It may cost more but there are many private pilots out across America looking for charters.

Brought to you by: http://wewontfly.com/. They are presently "campaigning" for the following in this video:
"Stop flying. Hit the airlines in the wallet until the porno-scanners are gone. If you must fly, opt out for your own health and privacy. Overwhelm the gropers until they rollback the madness. Meanwhile write letters, send emails, make phone calls, tweet and post on facebook. In other words, raise all hell."
I’m not sure how overwhelming the gropers will be helpful, since it would require me to arrive at the airport even earlier than I do now. If everyone opts out, the lines would be incredibly long with more and more people missing their flights.
No groping for the train......yet.
We checked into Flex Jet. Its not too bad especially if you have 5-6 people going together.
Would you rather have your private parts scanned or get blown out of the sky by a crotch bomber?
This is madness. When will they get gynecologists for the hiding places they can’t ‘pat’ and whatever it’s called for men? Besides, the problems they are so-called ‘fighting’ are not occuring in the US. These people are getting on planes overseas, so what the heck are we doing putting up with this?
I would say I’ll never fly again as long as I live. But, I have an elderly mother who lives 1200 miles away. Takes almost 3 days to drive it. Otherwise, as long as this is going on I won’t be flying. I’ll take a bus, car, or train, or I just won’t go.
A lot of Americans won’t fly unless in a flock, being an Alaskan I am used to the concept of trusting a pilot, and frankly I enjoy being in the co-pilot seat myself.
I started flying lessons years ago but was detoured.
I would pass the word everyday to as many people as I can, there ARE other choices, we are NOT limited to having being herded and goaded with cattle prods into the flying cattle cars.
We can help private pilots, we can ignore big sis, and we can do it safely with no fear of a fellow passenger exploding fake body parts.
Yup, if fighting totalitarianism is inconvenient we should not do it and just submit. I am really surprised our founding fathers inconvenienced themselves to establish this country, it would have been a lot easier and safer to just submit.
Give me liberty or give me slavery, whatever, I don’t care I just don’t want to be inconvenienced.
I'd rather have Jihad Stopped NOW!
By Law use of TSA is NOT Mandatory - Airports have the right to use private security - also TSA FAILs to adopt Israeli Techniques http://bit.ly/c56t01
{WHO Knew?}
The biggest threat to commercial aircraft is shoulder-fired missiles, and all the high school dropouts in the world grabbing you gonads won't make you one bit safer from them.
I’ll fly again, when this all blows over someday....and it will!
Oh please. There are a multitude of ways to fight against this. I was just pointing out that not many travelers will be willing to arrive an extra 2-3 hours early and/or miss their flights. If the gropers are swamped, believe me, they will be just as happy if people miss flights. What do they care?
I’m more of the mindset that we should place an enormous amount of pressure on their airlines. They will be the ones hit most directly by any sort of backlash, not TSA. They need to bring in their big gun lobbyists and pressure Congress until the TSA is de-funded, and at the same time, bring lawsuits against this unspeakable infringement on our rights.
Well it is a catch-22, we need the security obviously, and obviously its creating discomfort to many.
Here is hoping the discomfort leads to many “scratching” the itch.
Stupid people complain for the inconvenience, they should have taken a fiemer stance against the core of this problem, I’m actually very satisfied people are getting all wee wee’d up, maybe somebody will start a Rosa Parks change.
I support any and all means to stop this madness, regardless of inconvenience, but I agree defunding should be primary.
We can also get a meme going that TSA gropers are perverts and child molestors, thereby making it embarassing to even work for the TSA. They can get back what dish out.
your private parts are currently being scanned because a jihadist successfully hid a bomb in his panties and the TSA launched these porno-scanners to detect panty bombs.
when the jihadists go to their next logical step (actually, they already have!) and hide bombs up their bum, what will your reaction be to the TSA’s predictable course of action?
will your reaction then be “Would you rather have all your cavities probed or get blown out of the sky by a bum bomber”
don’t forget, there’s no guarantee AT ALL that a panty bomber will be caught under the current no-profiling system!! not everyone is forced to go through the porno scanners. in fact, i suspect, based on recent observations while traveling, that many fewer females are currently forced to go through the porno scanners than males because of political correctness (when i flew the other day, i didn’t see a single female directed to the porno scanners...only males).
