Flying used to be so much fun.

I still enjoy flying, but the amount of time spent due to security, etc. at the airport has become a real drag. Not that I don't appreciate it and think it's necessary, but it's still a huge waste of productivity.
The only time I've ever gotten nervous due to turbulence was on a 747 into LAX. We were seated in the upstaris First Class cabin, and it was so bumpy the flight attendent really did look worried. My concern wasn't for the structural integrity of the aircraft, though, but the potential wind effect on the actual landing. By far the majority of aircraft accidents happen during takeoff and landing.
