Solved this problem myself.
Haven’t been on a plane in over five years and never intend to get on one again.
I won’t be treated like sh!t by anyone, including g’ment employees. I won’t be forced to expose myself to other’s germs and who knows what.
Just takes an extra day or two. Eat my own food. Worry about my own security, drive along at my own schedule and listen to Rush.
Not a bad way to travel.
Well said. If I can’t drive there in two days, I don’t go.

I can understand how you feel the way you do. So can many of us.

Travelling alone on sort scedules makes flying imperative. I grin and bear it.
Hate to play "I can top that", but I haven't been on a plane since 9/11.
I'm starting to worry now that I'm getting to be a little old lady and may not be able to do the long-distance driving I usually do; but let's give Trump a chance to clean things uplike profiling, for starters. He's got bigger things to worry about this year.
