I fly to much - two things bug me about commercial flying; Planes have morphed into flying buses and contain that small group of probably 10% who do not have a clue what's going on or have never flown. Then there is TSA, but that's probably another thread
This is worth mentioning and somewhat related thread - anyone notice the increase in un-escorted minors this summer? I happened by the "holding area" in IAH, electric carts were rolling in packed with kids. The door opened and a airline worker who looked like she was going to have a few straight whiskeys after work greeted the new detainees. The room was packed! It probably rivaled Gitmo in population
