No thank you, we'll be insecure
We hate flying. Hate it. But since Europe is rather far, and more importantly, US Air begged us to buy magazines with our accrued milage [over 8,000 of them], we thought perhaps it would be rather interesting, just for the hell of it, of taking a look at various flights.
When we browsed through available flights, it seems US Air can charge $10 for the September 11 security fee. We weren't planning on flying on September 11. [though we suspect flights originating on that day fail to fill up and cheap tickets might be found]. Anyway, we think its the government's responsibilty to keep us secure [we know, call us crazy]. So we think we should be able to waive the fee [and the groping we know we would endure from the wandering hands of security personel] and fly insecure. After all, we know we're not a terrorist.

My grandfather died last year on Sept. 11, meaning I had to fly home immediately. I walked into the travel agent's office and asked how much it would cost to go back east on what essentially an hour's notice. He expressed his sorrow but said I was in luck. Because it was Sept. 11, and so few people were flying, I could get a ticket for $250. A ticket on Sept. 12 would have cost me $600. Has that much changed in a year? It's still gotta be pretty cheap. LAX was absolutely empty.
