Before getting the best seat in the house, I travelled extensively on US domestic carriers, and continue to do so every month or so.
I like the American (domestic)turn up and fly with as little fuss as possible.
Thanks to the media whipping up fear of flying (just like they did over Concorde) I suppose it's necessary to reassure passengers that security has been tightened.
Sept 11 was terrible. But, in aviation terms, let's put it into context of flights flown etc.
I sense some anti American bias coming out, and the extremely embarrassing British failing of always thinking we know best about aviation.
I'd fly on a domestic flight with a US carrier from a US airport with the same degree of security as pre Sept 11th. I think the odds are good enough.
And, although it may take many years, I hope the world will eventually be able to relax the additional security measures being taken now.
If we go too far down the 'security' road, the terrorists have won anyway.
