Yes, some flights truly ARE unavoidable, but I wager that the VAST majority, when all the rationalizations are stripped away, are wholly discretionary.
Hoping for significant change while massaging one's personal convenience is a fool's expectation.

PREACH IT! I’ve been saying that for years. STOP Flying! Or STOP your whining!
Nope. You don’t get the long-term goal of the TSA.
They are expanding beyond the airport.
They are going into bus terminals, ports, they will be going into freeway rest stops and check points, they will be getting involved with rental cars, all this crap. It is to be able to close roads and restrict travel.
It is absurd to say “stop flying”. I live in Denver. The closest 2 “major” cities are Kansas City (600 miles) and Salt Lake City (500 miles). I have 2 children in NYC and 1 in DC. It is not possible to drive those distances.
The answer lies in reigning in these bozos. Getting rid of Big Sis will help.
