Frankly, I don't think this is a very fair comment. Obviously, others MMV.

In all seriousness, I don't wish to be assaulted, irradiated or virtually strip searched in order to fly. Thus, I've cancelled three out of four of my scheduled flights. It hurts private companies. But it will cause greater harm to me, and I don't know why I should hurt myself in order to not hurt private companies.

How exactly am I supposed to go about this that would cause the least amount of harm to all? Can you tell me that, please? I've sent letters to my reps, I've written the TSA. I've written my local airport's head honchos. What else can I do besides minimize my risk of triggering an anxiety attack and having my beliefs and my personal space violated by cancelling my flights and not booking further travel? And what are these businesses doing to back their customers? It's a two-way street, in my world view.

So, could you please advise how you'd handle it? I may not agree, but at least I'd have a different view to consider.
