I have sent an e-mail to the airlines I maintain frequent flyer miles on, informing them that while the newest restrictions are even being considered, I'm going to be taking my travel miles to alternate venues (even if the train does take longer).

I'm all for safety, but there's safety and then there's insanity. You cannot defend against every possible thing someone determined to die might do. Not unless you are willing to give up the very act of living, yourself.

EtA: from CNN: "Airline terror suspect's family members say they tried to warn authorities." Not two days ago, not two weeks ago. Two MONTHS ago.

The train is good, it is actually my preferred form of transportation.

We love taking the train. Especially when we get our own 'roomette'.}:P
