>>Reason number 687 why I have quit flying for good.<<

Statistically, flying is much much safer than driving. When you saw a car accident, did you swear off driving?

You don’t fall 30,000ft in most car accidents.

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.
