I stopped flying when my wife was singled out on two consecutive flights, for elevated screening.

I asked to stay with her, and I was ordered to move along.

I did so, but I told myself it would be my last flight, if I could possibly get there by any other means.

When we go to Las Vegas, we drive. I’d rather spend ten hours in a car round trip, than have to abandon my wife to the Gestapo.

If people would refuse to put up with this for even thirty days, there would be massive improvements. The airlines would demand it or go out of business. The government would relent.

We get what we deserve if we continue to play along.

I don't blame you. Any thoughts as to whether it was it just bad luck, or is there some way she stands out, or are you both on some list?

I stopped flying after TWA-800 in 1996. The TSA would also have been a trigger-to-stop, if that hadn’t happened. If I can’t drive there, I don’t go there. Ditto, CCW.

Every time I fly with hubby WE both get pulled out for extra checks. If I am alone it never happens. I have to assume it is because he is a vet, Vietnam, Special Forces. I actually read somewhere once that it is a reason.

I stopped flying when they stopped ventilating the cabins, banned smoking, and started asking all those stupid questions about my luggage.
