Well, that's one of the reasons why I was glad I got my PPL (although I
started before 9/11, so it wasn't on my agenda when I started)... But I had
already cancelled my visit to this customer twice to avoid weather and
commercial flying, and couldn't delay it a third time...

With any luck, as my biz grows, I will be able to afford a nice twin and
stop flying airlines altogether!

This is just ridiculous already. Do they think that a terrorist's photo
ID won't match their ticket? Are they afraid that I might unscrew the
seatbelt during taxi, takeoff, or landing?

Sad story, indeed!
The pathetic thing is that they are trying to prevent another 9/11
incident when
another 9/11 incident will never occur. People learned that the concept
of being passive in a hijacking can get you killed. If you'd pulled out
that screwdriver and headed for the cockpit, I'd bet you wouldn't get
25 feet.

Or have we become a country of bumbling, cowering, idiots?

No, our leaders are a bunch of "bumbling, cowering, idiots". Catering
to the pathetic morons that feel that "If it saves one human life" it
should be done at all costs.

If more people refused to fly commercial, things would have to change.
So
I guess you and the other passengers are also to blame for that BS.
Maybe you should take the bus next time.
I used to fly commercial a half dozen times a year. I haven't been on
an airline
once since 9/11. Yea, it's been inconvenient, sometimes. But I will not
live life as a sheep.
