Just move/relocate and live 15 min from the airport. Overall, big picture, it'll make your life easier. If that is not an option - then yeah, you'll be miserable until you hold a line. If you commute coast to coast, you'll be miserable no matter what.
A lot of people do it, but SOME of those people end up building up all this anger/stress/anxiety over it and it takes away from the fun of the job.
