i used to think like you, MDTony, but i'm reevaluating. i had no problem hopping on a plane, even after 9/11, not at first. but as i watch the "sheeple" accept the current realities, i realize that i don't want to be one of them!
DC? 6 hours. Chicago or Toronto? about the same. I used to drive in a radius of about 3 hours (buffalo, pittsburgh, detroit), but i've widened it. it's just not worth it, otherwise.</font>
Most of my travel is of the type where driving really isn't an option. I can't get to California or Denver or Chicago from DC without devoting a full day or more to it. I suppose I could drive to New York or take the train, but that's a hassle.
So I'll continue to fly. Do I like the new system? No, I do not. I think it's absurd but we have to remember that most of the population flies three or four times a year and doesn't really see this as the problem that we do. Those folks are the ones that Congress is responding to, not us.
