Travel by air not as bad as report makes it seems

Editor, The Recorder,

Margo Oxendine's recent article about Amtrak and air travel was interesting to say the least.

First of all, taking off shoes and worrying about your undergarments is a small price to pay for you and your fellow passengers safety during these modern times we live in. Don't get me wrong, Amtrak is a great way to go,

you have many days for travel and you are not traveling coast to coast.

Ms. Oxendine's views made air travel sound like something out of the dark ages. It is not perfect, but it is not as bad as your reporter states. So don't be afraid (to) grab your bags and hit the wild blue wonder of flying, it really is not that bad.
