I will definitely fly. Seriously the chances of terrorists being able to get away with what they did on Sept 11th are now negligible. Now we know the stakes, what chances do a couple of fanatics have against all the male pax on a 767 armed with sharp plastic forks.

Will if necessary for business, but not for pleasure right now. Went to Logan right after opening and saw lots of Marshalls. Troopers, etc. All a deterrent to non-suicidal, law-abiding citizens, but what about the terrorists? Are they deterred because the parking garage is closed and armed guards are directing traffic?

Last week, one of the terminals was evacuated after travellers went through an unmanned checkpoint. The employee at the entrance was alone and left for a coffee break.

Rather ineffecient, but maybe I'll take the S2000 cross country for my next trip.

As I pilot with a Private licence, I can no longer fly out of my normal airport due to new restrictions put in by the government on general aviation. The new rule states that no VFR flights may take place within 30 miles of any class B airspace airport. Now I can only fly with my instructor . It seems stupid to me to punish the majority for the actions of the minority. Oh well

Even though I do not enjoy flying, I still plan to fly to Arizona next month. And with the cheap rates on flights, a vacation sounds good

Hi All:

I am moving back from the US (Detroit Area) to Europe (The Netherlands) in two weeks.

My S2000 is being shipped by boat at the end of next week (October 12th) and I am flying out on October 21.

I am not really happy... I am really starting to get a little bit afraid, actually...

I'll be getting a good insurance covering on the goods I am shipping and just hope for the best... But especially after todays 'events' I am a little bit worried, to be completely honest, but I just simply have to, don't I...
