Actually I think they are right. I am looking to change my life big time and get a new job that does not require travel. The TSA has won, I can't/won't fight it anymore.
Our local TV news was talking about how much more car travel there is this holiday weekend because of the TSA liquid ban. I wonder if this is true or not and if it is true, have the airlines noticed it yet or been affected by it yet?
If you do change jobs, the TSA has NOT won (although any alleged terrorist has); they have lost and so have the airlines. If enough people do that, then there will be an adverse financial impact on both the TSA and the airlines. I see that as still fighting.
I, too, heard the same thing on our local radio, although the report I heard did not mention the liquid ban specifically. It said due to the new hassels in security and it said an estimated 100,000 people had chosen not to fly
From the AAA website:
“We are projecting that slightly more than five thousand fewer metro area residents will board flights during this holiday weekend, as opposed to last year,” said Anderson. “Interestingly, the same trend holds true across the nation. For this reason, we are forecasting that nationwide 100,000 fewer people will fly to their Labor Day destinations.”
Anyway, to answer the OP's question, I just normally
