I have more than once speculated that the real purpose of the TSA is to 
make air travel so intolerable that nobody in the US flies any more. 
The one thing I can't figure out is what the win in this is for the 
government.

I suspect half the reason the airlines are doing so poorly is that a 
very large chunk of the previously-flying public *are* saying "Screw 
that shit, I'll drive", or just not going at all.
