(concur that the preference would be the median of security as it existed on September 10, 2001)

I agree that the poll is flawed. I'd choose neither flight. Instead, a blend of Israeli security, with security from 9/10/2001.

Which would you take. One word only please. With or Without



WITH


I would take the flight that gets my far away from your feeble minded TSA-like thought process? This is just another way of asking the TSA favorite: do you want to fly today or not?

I don't understand why folks are giving the OP such a hard time. I also didn't see an option for "none of the above" or "create your own answer."

It seems to me that walking on the plane without any security at all would be kind of scary. I'll go with with.

Does that mean SeaPort Airlines is off the table for you?

No lines. No rubber gloves. No need to take your shoes off. Simply arrive 15 minutes before your flight, board and go. It's air travel the way it should be - fast and hassle-free.
IT'S ABOUT TIME

A while back essxjay posted a trip report, but I can't do a decent search from my phone.

Sounds great, but did they really have to draw their route map in the shape of a swastika?
