] what an amazingly important and rare skill he wields to heal the sick who would die without his assistance, and yet these TSA losers who are one fatburger away from a heart attack and have the morals of the gutter would have the insolence to suspect my darling husband of plotting mass murder. The idea of someone disrespecting his gifts and talents that way nauseates me. It's so upsetting that I have to stop thinking about it now.
But, no, what I wanted to say was, thank you, sar0000, for doing your part to stop the TSA.
Awww thanks

Comic-Con was a blast, but since we've been there 2 years in a row, we may try a different convention next year.
I've been concerned about airport security since going through the "puffer" last summer. After consulting google, I found Flyertalk and started lurking.
I've since made my opinion of the TSA known and people are now asking me what I think of the latest incident in the news.
One couple I know drove to a conference in New Orleans rather than deal with the hassle of flying last spring and then they drove to Santa Fe for their vacation a month ago.
My co-worker who was scanned and groped has decided to drive to Kentucky to visit one of her sisters in a few weeks.
As I mentioned in the OP, I'm driving to St. Louis next month and I'm planning on driving to a conference in Las Vegas next spring for work.

For 2 weeks I was able to forget about all the nonsense. When I got back, I checked out TS/S and was instantly depressed and enraged. I didn't even have to read the threads, just the titles to know that I had made the right decision by driving.
