You can hardly watch a TV news show, listen to a radio broadcast, pick up a newspaper, or read the Internet without hearing about the aggressive Transportation Security Agency patdown searches at airports.
The TSA and all relevant officials tell us that they’re really for our own protection. But are they? In truth, the searches have virtually nothing to do with increased airport security. http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/11/23-5

Fancy how we get the shoe bomber, then we have to take off our shoes. Then comes the underwear bomber and they get to put their hand down our pants.
If someone shoves a bomb up their ass or peehole, I'll take my chances crossing the borders at Mexico, facing a drug cartel and flying out internationally down there before I deal with the TSA after that mess. |

And now with all the BS you have to go through, the time factor is only good if the drive is longer than 8 hours. Granted, I have a 1 hour drive to the airport, so that factors in for me. It used to be that you could get to the airport 45 min before takeoff, head to the gate, board the plane and be on your way. Now you have to get to the airport about 2 hours early, if not more. Then, even on a short flight you typically have to connect somewhere. Combine that with the all the hassle you have to deal with, the increased prices, the decreased service and it's just not worth it to fly anywhere on a short flight.

Especially with this new pat-down BS, I'll only fly when absolutely necessary.
