It's almost hopeless....I've talked to my father who used to be a FF 25 years ago and while he agree that some of the steps being taken are silly, he also think others are good idea. His main point was we should just accept that business flyers will have to "slow" down, live without carryons, except for small ones like purses and books, and other certain steps, like ridiclous idea that connecting pax should go through security again (very much like international connecting pax have to go through security after custom, etc).

And he is very smart and rational guy.

Oh and he used to be a private pilot and nowday he and Mom will not fly whenever possible, because in their words, travel by air got so unpleasant.
