If I can't drive or take a train to where ever I am going....I am not going....
Cosmic background radiation increases with increasing altitude. If you move to the coast, you will decrease your cosmic radiation dose by 1/2!
If you have a round trip under 1500 miles, its just smarter to drive and spend a night at a hotel. Unless your a Muslim trying to make a statement, it makes no sense to fly these smaller trips.
“If I can’t drive or take a train to where ever I am going....I am not going.... “
Indeed.
My last flight on a big commercial jet was in 1984. I was on a small commuter-sized jet in 1987. Haven’t been off the ground since then.
I don’t intend to fly again, ever.
If I can’t get where I want to go on the ground.... I ain’t goin’.
I think the time will come when we see “body cavity” searches for some. Don’t think that could happen? Ten years ago, who would have believed (or accepted) the indignities that folks who travel by air are subjected to today?
But I think it’s going to go even further than this.
Eventually, I think those who fly on “private aircraft” and corporate planes are going to be required to submit to the same inspections before they are allowed to board/operate their own planes. We’ll see TSA at EVERY small airport in the country, commercial or not.
After all, what this is REALLY about is the accumulation and exercise of power — and NOT the goal of “security”.
If it was in fact about “security”, the USA would have installed an Israeli-style screening system, which is totally different than ours.
Any true conservative administration should consider defunding the TSA as well as the EPA. Both are serious threats to our freedom!
