A totally unworkable solution to all of this is to just do what I did when I needed to travel: Take a company owned private jet.

It is really very easy. You just call the company air operations center and tell them you need a jet to go to where you are going. Then you take a taxi to the airport and your jet is waiting for you with two pilots and lots of food and even fresh flowers on board.

I know this will be a bit difficult if you don't work for a major oil company, so get those resumes out there!

I have not flown commercialy since 1978, so I am really a bit out of touch with all of this security stuff. And, now that I am retired, I drive everywhere I go.

See how easy that is?
