    Between the

    TSA, taking your shoes off, cabin crew acting like Basic Training Sergeants, the stories of tarmac waits of 1 hr plus, luggage restrictions.........the possibility of not being allowed on a plane (common name).... Ad nausum.....

    Another concern is that airline personal such as pilots & maintenance crew & traffic controllers are pushed beyond reasonable limits.

    ......we haven't flown since Sept 10 2001. We now fear the Bush administration and the above stupidity, more than OBL. As has been observed by others, Osama is sitting in his reinforced cave/mud hut, cackling with laughter. The neo-cons were conned by Osama & Sadam, who knew how to play poker better than Cheney.

    Hope that the coming change in administrations will eventually stop some of this nonsense! VOTE for OBAMA!!!
