Very true and personally, but remember I'm a cynic as far as John Q. public is concerned. I doubt if that's going to happen. I think right now just like immediately after 9/11 every one is in an uproar. I think by summer of 2011 not a blessed thing will have changed (I hope for the sake of the people who are really upset some thing does but I'm not holding my breathe).
I fly about 3X's a month, more in the early part of the year so I really could care less, I love to travel so I've been scanned 2x with the new scanners in Philly and patted down once and all the folks on my daily commute could care less, but who knows.
I think as long as Southwest has 69.99 flights from Philly to Orlando with bags flying free, they've got nothing to worry about.
like I said, I'm pretty cynical so don't go by me.
I plan on flying for the next 30 years at least.
Not all of us live in philly and the cheap flights won't continue (I'd bet money on that one). I'm a cynic about the powers that be. I love John q public. Its funny how people can look at the world so differently. I don't think I'm as arrogant as you, but I guess we'll find out in the future whose right.
