But hey, you're tired of hearing it.

Yes, I am.

These are the flight conditions you guys who choose to live in and
around the Washington, DC area must contend with, and there's nothing
you can do about it, short of voting the *******s out of office (for
all the good *that* will do). After 5+ years, it's time to either
adapt -- or move. (I know several folks who have.)

Which is not to say that your points are not valid. I truly do
understand your frustration, and I truly am sorry the whole thing
continues -- but the point of mentioning it is simply this: MX said
"America is no longer free" since 9/11.

And I contend that -- other than you poor guys that are stuck in or
near that stupid ADIZ -- *nothing* has changed for the rest of us.

That would be the 99.9% of the country I was referring to.

And I'll stand by that assertion. I fly as often today -- actually
more -- than I did pre-9/11, and (so long as I avoid your area), I fly
with exactly the same rules, freedoms, and regulations as before. In
short, MX's contention is completely, utterly, and thankfully wrong.
