Flying Anywhere?

With all the hoopla over full-body scans versus pat-downs, I'm curious: are you flying anywhere anytime soon? I cannot decide which is worse, a naked picture or groping. I have to admit, though, that I'm glad I'm not getting on a plane in the near future. One of my nieces is getting married in a few months, and I must say that driving from Georgia to Texas sounds better than flying.

Meanwhile, "thousands of foreign nationals [are] obtaining pilot's licenses without the proper paperwork." (Read full story here.) Men like the ones who attacked our country on September 11. Do you think our government is targeting the wrong people? Maybe, just maybe?

What are your thoughts?

We're not flying anywhere, and I very thankful for several reasons. This mess is a big reason, but I also can't imagine getting on a plane with 6 small children and all of their gear. I think I'll just stay home! And yes, I think the government is off target on this and many other issues!

I'll have to agree with you on that one!

I for one (short of an emergency we can't avoid) won't be flying until the inappropriate searching is gone. I've shared my thoughts pretty passionately over at my blog! Thanks for bringing it up here!
