More interested in groping women and men and taking little old ladies that are 80 years old behind a wall and strip searching her. I REFUSE TO FLY. I will not subject myself to being groped and man handled any more. I last flew back in 2003 when me and my wife flew from Seattle to Tampa to visit her sister. We had a change in Philadelphia. In all that time we were subjected to groping and pawing by these thugs. I told my wife when we got back to Seattle that I would NEVER fly again. I was not going through that again. We have now been back home in Alabama for 8 years. My wife has flown back to Seattle twice to visit family. But I did not go. If I cannot drive, I ain’t going. I am not giving my money to go somewhere and be groped all the way there and back. They can rot in hell. I will not give a dime to these thugs again.
Same with me. Flight free since Sept. of 2002.
That was after I was prodded in the belly(I was heavier then) at the airport as part of my “once-over”.
I told my wife I cannot fly anymore because I almost hauled off at the guy when he did that.
Now I drive. I take what I want, stop when I want. No stress. I enjoy the view as I drive.
I flew extensively from 1979 to 2002. At the end it was like being on a bus in the sky. I don’t miss it.
I know it is not an option for some.
I flew 2 years ago, first time in almost 20 years. Didn’t occur to me that it would be easy for me as no one would want to grope me ;(
