Thankfully my job does not require flight.
I never liked airports before all this and it will be a looong time before I fly again.
Anyway I can find whatever I want here in the good old USA, and our 51st state, Canada. :)

My job does require me to fly on business. I've flown once on business since 9/11, and have a couple of more trips in January. The key is to be prepared (don't wear anything metal) and don't take a huge carryon. I only carry on my laptop case, not even a purse. And if I get searched, I get searched.

I have had two flights on Southwest since 9-11. Three pennies set off the detector and I was wanded by an African 3 days off the boat. I was ultra careful later and I was wanded again. Hate to disappoint you guys and girls, but they are not feeling up every passenger. I object to non-citizens wanding a a non-threatening grandfather and grandmother, but things will calm down soon. It's rather silly to say, "I'll drive rather than fly." The difference for me has not been enormous, comparing pre-9-11 and post-9-11 security. Yes, I liked it much better before, but I still like to fly. Flights and hotel rooms are very cheap.
