I've got over 2MM air miles under my belt and used to tae a plane as though it were a taxi. The idiotic security procedures invoked after 911, under the aegis of that leftist Demonrat Mineta (Sp?), finally drove me to start driving again. This is where I started in business 28 years ago. Last fall, I mad 6 segments in two days and got an extra bit of attention each security check. The final straw was at SeaTac where I had a real face down with the personnel there. Guess who lost?

That was it for me. I have now made a three week long, cross country trip. I find it to be a far more enjoyable experience and with some planning and ingenuity find that productivity isn't too badly impaired.

A side note: I spoke with a colleague yesterday who is attending a series of heavy equipment auctions in Florida. The buzz is how many people in our industry are buying motor homes/RV's for business travel. Same story - won't put up with the hassel of air travel.
