You make a good point regarding the fact that even if it is "security theater" which only accomplishes to make someone feel safer, then more ppl will fly. But I also know ppl who have greatly reduced flying due to the hassle of security. I myself have canceled 2 trips just this year because I didn't want to deal with the TSA. Lucky for me i only "need" to fly 1 more time in the next couple of months. Very interesting article.
I think the shock and fear created right after 9/11 stopped a large amount of people from flying, and to be blunt, i think we sort of got used to it, or got over it, which is why air travel began to rise. The crappy economy certainly lowered air travel numbers, to be sure, but that would be a stretch to blame on TSA. |

Yet when TSA was established air travel began to rise until the year the study was published.

It would equally be incorrect to try and credit TSA for any increase in air travel.

And who says they switched to driving because of TSA?

As a regular in this forum, I have to say this thread is embarrassing.

Yes, and they are now climbing.
However, the study mentioned was published in 2005. And travel was up each year from 9/11 to when that study was published. Air travel crashed after 9/11, and TSA wasn't around, so you can't blame TSA for that. Yet when TSA was established air travel began to rise until the year the study was published. It would be one thing if during the time period that study was conducted air travel declined year after year, but that isn't what happened. You must be drinking a lot of the TSA Kool-Aid if you think they are rising. But I'll bet that's part of what your management tells you, isn't it? |

Where do you see they are climbing? SAT's departing passengers fell 1.47% from last year; EWR's fell 3.21%; JFK's fell 4.93%; SFO 6.10%; ORD 1.63%.
