Well, I can't talk for the experience - when I went to SF two months
ago, via Munich, I wasn't neither through the backscatter, nor the pat
down. I suppose they are a real annoyance. But I would be much more
annoyed if a terrorist brought down my plane.
Given that, yes, flying is annoying today. In the past I've brought with
myself a whole bag filled with my photo equipment. Now I can't (being
the cost a problem before security, even though I had to expect about
5/10 minutes of detailed checks of my photo equipment. Under 1000 km for
land-based travels I'm going to drive, taking some days and taking the
advantage of some tourism. Next year I've decided not to submit anything
to J1 (I'll eventually retry in 2012), one of the reasons being the
annoyance and the cost of the flight.
