Certainly is that way for me. I've been flying since I was a few years old, even had a flight very shortly after 9/11. I fly both domestically and internationally I have never felt nervous or anxious about flying until the past few months as the AITs have been rolled out through-out all of the terminals at BOS and I realized that I would either have to go through them and be seen naked by someone or patted-down in a rather intrusive manner just to get on the plane.
Threat of terrorism or plane crash? That I can deal with. The latest set of screening measures? Really questioning if I need to continuing flying.
