I quit flying (domestically, at least) over the x-rays and TSA bullshit. I'm driving 13 hours today in order to avoid that particular security theater.
Can't wait for high speed rail to be common and cheaper in Europe. I just hate everything about airports and flying. I already only fly if I have time constraints. I'll gladly take a train for 10 hours instead of a 1 hour flight (which requires more than 1 hour commuting, being 2 hours early, waiting for luggage, then commuting back, so that 1 hour is more like 4).
Trains in the US are starting to have some of the same security measures as airlines... :(
