We’re taking a vacation to New Orleans in November & we’re driving (from Oregon) because I don’t want to go thru TSA. We should all start writing both the airlines AND our congressman & senators & say we won’t put up with this anymore. I’ll take my chances with a terrorist event over being treated like a criminal by my government!
And really, it is so unnecessary. Most people make reservations in plenty of time to do a quick background check, like a credit check. Then they would only need to scrutinize last-minute reservations, or those from certain countries or backgrounds. It really is inexcusable that we have to put up with this!
You do understand that the airlines are victims in all of this, don’t you?
Since the morning of September 11, 2001, the airline industry has been in crisis, just as the terrorists want.
I understand your qualms and your reluctance to fly, and I feel much the same way. I’m just saying that it’s not good for the country, the economy, or any of us.
And I don’t have any answers.
‘______inexcusable that we have to put up with this.’
Like the way you and others think, on this thread.
Since 9-11, it’s all become more than ridiculous.
We haven’t even begun to push back.
Can hardly wait for the next threat from ‘that species.’
