You needn't deprive yourself of U.S. trips completely and indefinitely because of this. Flying's not the only way to travel. Trains and cars both have their distinct advantages.
I've driven from NYC to Florida, taken the train to QC via Montreal, and taken several day long train trips overseas. All were fun. I may even be either taking the train or driving RT from NY <=> SF soon.
Being a former airline employee for over 40 years, I used to joke about someone using their underwear to conceal a bomb and then we would all have to travel commando (this after the shoe bomber caused us to remove our footwear)never dreaming that some lunatic would try it.
I certainly understand how you feel as I think that it is a big violation of privacy and I absolutely hate how difficult and unpleasant it is to travel by plane anymore as I remember when it was actually fun to fly and there was no security issues but I won't let that deter me from following the boys in their endeavors since that is the only way I can get to them since I live in Pittsburgh and don't plan to drive to NY, the Berkshires or L.A.
Julie, I'm sorry to hear that you won't be joining us in the future and since I am also flying to L.A. in February, I hope the scanners are not in use then.
