Where are these panic-prone people? The overwhelming majority of people on flights I've taken have been pretty chill.
I hear you about the inability to secure your luggage. I just don't bring anything particularly valuable with me. I could do without getting treated like an inmate by the TSA every time I go to get on a plane. The Israelis have a much better way to do airline security.
That said, I wish I had more discretion in deciding whether to drive or fly. I travel fairly regularly to LA and Seattle for one of my jobs. They used to be pretty flexible about letting me drive and then reimbursing for mileage, but now they always want me to fly. If I take a two week trip, park my car at the airport, and get authorized a rental car, which I often do, then the cost is higher than if I simply drove and got the 53 cents a mile or whatever the going rate is.
