I'm sure that's part of it. When a trip to the airport is like a trip to Nazi Germany, I'd be selling stock in anything air travel related.

I have always felt govt should protect maufacturing but no other industry.

I started out by being okay with the increased security. But they kept pushing and pushing, and now they have xray machines that render you nude.

Eff airlines. I'll drive.

About a week ago I flew from Atlantic City to Florida and back. First time I'd been through security since TSA took over. IMHO - better than post 9/11 / pre-TSA. They were pretty professional; I felt like I was treated with respect.
The biggest suprise was that my checked-bag had to go through a screening. I had to take it over to the area, it was opened, and all compartments were opened and brushed with some kind of detection strip (my guess is a test for bomb material). I THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. It always seemed dumb to check carry-on but not checked-on (remember Lockherbie). I felt safer. Not a perfect system (next step, test cargo), but better (again IMHO). But I don't fly alot.

There used to be a time when flying was actually fun! free cigarettes, free meals, free drinks, free cards, curteous stewardesses, etc.
