No disagreement on the quality of service. The industry has degraded to being nothing more than a "bus with wings" in many cases. I'm only 54 and have done most of my traveling in the past ten years. Some years I got elite status and that extra inch of leg room and some years, I boarded with the rest. I have a zillion stories of bad airline employees, TSA personnel, passenger behavior and poor aircraft conditions. All I'm saying is I find it extremely unlikely she encountered all those situations short of going out of her way to create them..... Happy Father's Day to you sir! Cheers!

I fly almost weekly to various cities as part of my job. Last year alone I flew on at least 130 different aircraft. Although delays, slow TSA and overbooked flights were relatively common, I seriously doubt this "reporter" had to endure every cliche example of flight frustration by hopping such a lowly handful of flights. It makes for good affirmation to the skeptics but that's about it.....

I'm not a fan but slap on the Bose, crank up the tunes and most of it goes away. Sit next to a person sweating beer, B.O. and flatulence and there is no cure....

Randy, one doesn't need to rely on hearsay when they have personal, first hand knowledge.

Over 600 devices were tested at the Nevada Test Site which is adjacent to Area 51. No historical records exist of any military personnel, let alone civilian families being purposely exposed. I grew up near there and the workers went to great effort to ensure all tests were contained. Yes, there were above ground tests that in hindsight seem negligent in verifying wind direction but it certainly wasn't to see how many tax paying citizens they were striving to protect could get poisoned......

Yes, like the entire other side of the story.......

I was thinking the same. Not discrediting his account, just suggesting when one volunteers to forego their flight for any reason (including honor), the airline is relieved of their obligation to provide room and board and I am surprised they paid.

You're missing the point. Yes, there is an average height, an average weight, an average inseam, an average shoe size, an average torso length and an average chest size. Now, attach all those individual average dimensions to a singular body dimension. That body does not exist, hence the fallacy of designing to such a nonexistent dimension of form comprised of an assembly of averages. Goes with what we learned in grade school, you can't average an average.....

Zionist Jews did all the damage and every affected country in the world conspired to blame nut jobs so they could sell body scanners? What you're smoking isn't legal, even in Colorado. Go back to your Jew hating conspiracy websites where your bigoted ignorance is embraced.

@Ethan - The "essential liberty" that you speak of is being a bit dramatic. Do you proclaim the same indignation when a red traffic light restricts your ability to freely travel your route? Is your liberty lost when you must refrain from driving while drunk to protect the innocent? Refuse the body scanner when mandated and "protect" your freedom to walk to your destination as you won't be flying commercial.......
