Why should we even travel by plane when it's such a hassle at the airport?

They make you take off your shoes, scan your body with dangerous xray, they make you wait hours, they cancel flights.
Let's boycott them!!

You go right ahead and start the boycott. If the rest of the Yahoo Answers world is not ready... go ahead and start without us. I, for one am glad to see that they are doing something to try to prevent a repeat of 9/11/2001. Perhaps things will get better as soon as King George vacates the White House. Try Greyhound bus lines... and leave the driving to them. Me, I will continue to fly mostly on Southwest Airlines, as they have excellent on time performance. Try watching the news and/or reading the newspaper and maybe you would be aware of potential problems. I flew in the back of helicopters as a flight medic in the USAF so a bit of inconvenience of flying on planes is nothing compared to that fiasco.
