We are taking trains, buses and cars instead of flying because here we are nine months after September 11th, and not much has changed at the airports other than lots of people take off their shoes at security. I don't agree with you that it is more secure...I've traveled a lot, and it is not secure at all...just inconvenient. If was secure and inconvenient THEN I would get over it. Otherwise it's a free country and we should be voicing opinions about what could make this situation better. I am pretty sure that frequent flyers know a lot more about global airport security than the security guys at any individual airport, maybe we could point out a few things to them. That said, I'd rather spend time writing my Senator or Congressman...they at least can do something about it. So rather than ramble on about this, I'll write them. Adios. DJ - --- "B. D.
