BREAKING NEWS: Possible new TSA rules in effect after terror attempt {Gadling}

Dec 27th 2009 9:03PM you nailed this right on the head. air travel is solving one problem with a highly incongruous solution at the expense of it's PAYING CUSTOMERS. i would take a train any day over a plane, regardless of travel time, if only to assure my comfort. however, this would hinge on amtrak making those changes, because as it stands currently, the airlines practically hold a monopoly on tolerable long-distance travel. but if they want to sacrifice my comfort, time, and patience while i turn over 300+ dollars of my hard-earned money, sorry, no thanks. i'll be driving henceforth.

as for the international flights...well...i'll take my chances crossing the atlantic on a log raft at this point.
