Your time or Corporate time?

The misguided TSA rules are obviously causing delays and making America as a country less efficient.

Now that we most likely have to check our bags and stand in line longer, I am wondering if those of us who travel quite a bit for business will change their viewpoint and booking behaviors of early morning outbound flights.

For example, until last week, I would take an 8AM flight out, having to leave my house at 7AM in order to drive to the airport, park in long term parking, walk to the terminal, go through security (with toothpaste) and get to my gate.

Now, I will probably just take a 10AM flight and get to my destination 2 hours later than normal, so I am pushing the TSA caused delays into my employer's time schedule, rather than getting up earlier, not seeing my kid and all.

How many of us, who have that flexibility, are doing the same rather than giving up more of their personal time to accommodate Jagoff Chertoff?
