Flying is an ordeal at every level. The TSA is a part of it, and particularly annoying, but just about everything from the point of leaving my home to the point of actually walking through the door of my destination is a chore.
I just try to not travel very much. It works for me.
I wonder if discouraging travel isn’t part of the game. Reduce carbon footprint and make people easier to control.

OK, so we wanted to take a vacation in Palm Springs last week and we go to the airport here in Seattle. I had to stand in the naked scanner, lift my arms above my head like a criminal and be exposed to radiation.
Then they found my fishing jackknife in my backpack which I forgot about. It wasn’t expensive or special, just a small multi-blade knife I got for a good price.
The TSA guy says, “you can check the bag or mail it to your home.” I was so disgusted I just said, “Toss it” and walked away.
