NOOD was a one-day wonder, effectively defused by a TSA sweetness campaign.
It would make a much greater impact if January business travel were off by 20 or 30 percent and flight load factors got knocked down commensurately. Nothing says policy change like an empty airport after the holidays. FFers would simply have to get through a few weeks earning no miles or status, and resisting the inevitable bonus promotions the airlines would lay on to get you to abandon your principles.
