"Too many people are forgetting that air travel, like driving, is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT. Privacy and 'personal freedoms' may, and probably will, have to take somewhat of a backseat to security in light of these events."  Wes Miller  "America needs to be more realistic about the price of safe service. It's time that we give up our unreasonable expectations for 'cheap' airfare and security."  Patty  "I fly 2-3 days a week on business, and I am willing to follow the most strict safety precautions that can be administered. Even the most experienced traveler should welcome stronger and tighter controls, not only immediately after this tragedy, but in the coming months and years."  Laura Perkin  "Quite frankly, I'm willing to give up a lot of freedom for the sake of safety. I am prepared to take a lot of time at a check-in counter. I've done so in many other countries around the world  why should the U.S. be different?"  Ann Bailey  "I don't think the beefed-up security is out of line, as some are expressing on the local radio stations. I would much rather be safe than sorry."  Autumn Kenny  'I Am Torn' "I hope we will seek and find a balance between the freedoms and protections, that delicate balance which makes our country the model of democracy for the world."  LuAnnM "I am torn. On the one hand I do not want to make my decisions based on fear. That is a self-fulfilling prophesy. On the other hand, I need to protect my children and make intelligent decisions regarding air travel."  Amie Favreau  "I hope we will seek and find a balance between the freedoms and protections, that delicate balance which makes our country the model of democracy for the world."  LuAnnM  "I am torn. On the one hand I do not want to make my decisions based on fear. That is a self-fulfilling prophesy. On the other hand, I need to protect my children and make intelligent decisions regarding air travel."  Amie Favreau
