I flew a round trip two weeks after 9/11/01.
I flew again two weeks after that.
In 2002 I flew 5 times.
I have no fear of flying, I have a fear of the PC TSA letting another set of suicidal terrorist nuts on board an airplane.
I don't enjoy having to get to the airport 3 hours ahead of time just to get to the gate by takeoff time.
I don't enjoy letting some minimum wage flunky paw through my belongings, especially as there are many things I put in my checked baggage because it is no longer allowed to be in your carry on.

If a person wanted to bring down an airplane - it could be done without too much trouble. Of course, that would only kill 200 or 300 people. That is not what a terrorist wants.

Let the 2nd amendment come into play everywhere, including on the airplane, and it is no longer a danger that terrorists could hijack an airplane to be able to kill thousands.

No, sorry, that's too sensible.

A handful of armed Americans could have easily prevented 9/11.
