Still Haven't Flown
The last time I was scheduled to fly was Sept. 12 from Los Angeles to Newark. That obviously didn't happen and I used Greyhound instead. I haven't been on a plane since then - in part because I was scared, but I also felt like I was voting with my feet. I thought it was inappropriate to do business with any airline that wasn't doing enough, fast enough to fix the gaping holes in their security infrastructure.

Just this week my husband reserved us tickets to fly to California. Since it's business for him, we had to use the company-approved airline, which happens to be American. And then I read this (via Jeff Jarvis and The Illuminated Donkey):

TOKYO (AP) -- American Airlines chief executive Donald Carty said Friday another terrorist attack against commercial airlines was unlikely and urged some security measures added at airports be dropped.
