Any Kidding aside RE: previous post.

I'm not a pilot, however I'm a huge aviation/airline buff and a long time pAX, having flown my share of miles.

As a PAX, this is something that could push a potential customer over the edge, maybe it already has.

In the airline business, a business under tremendous stress and with razor thin margins- how can we (collectively as customer and provider) accept this?

How many of the booked passengers have already said, "next time, I'll drive"?

I've had little respect for the TSA previously, now even less.

9/10 they worked for Wackenhut making maybe a little above minimum wage. Today they are federal employees doiing....well... go back to the first post....
