Statistically, flying is much much safer than driving.

I recognize that. But I'm not a statistic. Yet :-)

I flew for years in business. Had more frequent flier miles than you could shake a stick at.

I don't fly anymore 'cause I don't have to. Retired. If I want to go to California, I'd much rather drive and enjoy our wonderful, beautiful country.

IMHO, the airlines and the TSA are doing everything they can to discourage flying.

Ah, I see. I have 2 million miles so I agree that when I retire I will fly as little as possible.

Agreed. They never have given us the “trusted flier” program they promised not long after 9/11. Ironically, they HAVE established “Global Pass” so after I land from international flights I walk right through Border Control and Customs.
