[QUOTE]Originally posted by Railroad Bob: [QB] I can see why rail travel is getting more and more attractive for those that might not have considered it; before the new invasive TSA procedures we're talking about here. On my last SAN-CHI round trip, I left my paid-for return flight in my SW Air account and had a delightful rail trip home on Number Three. I saw that viral clip circulating now of the sweet little blonde 3 year old girl - reduced to a crying panic-stricken kid by the heavy-handed TSA screener- who grabs at and pulls at the kid. It's sickening to watch; I'm glad the father put it out there. I heard a pilot from PHX on a talk show this morning say even the flight crew gets the "full treatment" by TSA; why is this? These men and women could put the plane into the ground if they wanted to; so why do they need to be checked for explosive shoes, etc.? I think the air traveling public is close to some kind of breaking point, with these latest developments. Wow- imagine what the Thanksgiving rush is going to be like this year; hope you guys don't get stuck in that! Maybe some of them (the flying public) will migrate to the trains- the common-sense civility of rail travel seems to be in the forefront now. I may never fly again, after I use up my $269 credit with SW Air, that is! [/QB][/QUOTE]
