I bet a lot of people chose driving over flying not just because they're afraid of having their planes hijacked, but also because of the TSA and not wanting to deal with them.
- chiph 13y agoI'm one. I'd rather spend a day and a half in the car than deal with them.
- ds9 13y agoExactly. The Xray scanners (now pulled), the offensive groping, the authoritarian attitudes, the long delays - I'm sure I saw some numbers showing big declines in the airline industry from late 2001, and undoubtedly few Americans today think terrorism is a big threat, but no one likes the TSA.
- ChrisClark 13y agoYes, that's exactly what the article says. In fact, it says the TSA inconveniences are the main reason people chose to drive instead.
- marssaxman 13y agoI am not at all afraid of having a plane hijacked, but if I choose to fly it is a dead certainty that the TSA will invade my privacy, violate my rights, and waste my time. I would rather deny them the opportunity by driving.
