I heard about the new security measures for flying. I have not been on a airplane since 1998. I don't think I will ever fly again. I would rather go by car. I know these new security measures will make us safe, but some of them are getting to be ridiculous. I also heard years down the road that they want to inplant a micro chip into everyone's fingertip.

No way.

I don't mind flying... Much faster than by car (I can never drive!), I don't have to persaude anyone into roadtripping with me, etc...

I flew Delta just days after the foiled Christmas Day attack (I flew on the 28th) and it wasn't any different than it usually is. It sucks that I can't have family or friends meet me at the gate, but that's okay. Less crowded, anyway. Airports are pretty ****ing crowded as it already is.

I plan to fly to NYC at the end of this year... Sheesh. Good luck to me

Oh, I'm still going to fly. I LOVE to fly!! I don't care about all the security measures. I can deal with it. When I go up north, I refuse to drive. I rather fly 2 hrs than drive 14!!

The last time I flew was in 2007. It was summertime, and even though I was wearing clear jelly shoes with no socks, I still had to take them off when I went through the security checkpoints. If I have to travel a long way, I'd rather fly. Otherwise, I'll drive.

Same! I flew 3x last year. Besides, how are you going to go across the ocean if you refuse to fly? By ship? Swimming?

If you know WTF to do before going through security, it only takes a minute. Two, at most. That means like... Looking at TSA's site. Putting liquids in the appropriate-sized containers in your carry-on.

I love flying so much too, omg. I'm fine with spending all that money for plane tickets - as long as I get there faster than by car.

I dont mind flying, and enjoy it. I do have my opinions about one way to make sure we have more safety in the airports. Its under the politics sections if anyone is interested.

steevo · 01-05-2010, 07:22 PM

I enjoy flying, even with the added security.

I hate flying. I usually end up flying once every 4-5 yrs. After all that has happened I want to fly even less.
