First Flight Since 9/11

March 17, 2002

Well, it looks like I am heading down to San Diego in a couple of weeks to pick up a new car for my folks. Spent quite a bit of time last night looking at air fairs from SFO to San Diego. I actually bought my ticket in very little time (man, I love travelocity), but spent awhile reading through all the travel restrictions and security precuations as a result of 9/11. Let's just say I am not entirely convinced that airport security is any better than it was before 9/11. I get the feeling from all the government reports I read that most of the efforts you can see are largely window dressing. We'll see in a couple of weeks. It will be my first flight since September.
