I know how I am in dealing with bureaucratic micro-minds, and I have little doubt that I would inflict bodily harm on any Federal drone who attempts to lay hands on me for any reason. So I just avoid the whole stinking mess, and if that means the airlines go bankrupt (which I doubt, since obviously most people put up with this abusive crapola), I won't shed a single tear.
I might have a business conference to attend in a month in half in Cincinnati. That's a two-day drive each way from my locale. But that's the price I'm willing to pay. The meat-bots of the TSA can all burn in hell. Every one of them.
I’ve also stopped flying. It’s sort of worked in my travel sched thus far to drive as far as 800 or so miles. Not sure what I’ll do when a coast to coast trip comes up. I’ll probably walk through the xray if it’s an option.
