OP
Try not to fly. Standing in line is not my thing. I start sweating, get frigidity, and fit "profile"

I would like to believe that security increases on that day. Just because.

(12,265 posts)1. I just generally don't like to fly.
It is like a greyhound bus in the air anymore. I did move a flight last year from 9/11 to the day after, it sounds silly, but I did do it.

whether its a 9/11 blue.
Thats what I remember from the day. The amazing blue sky.
That being said, I am flying back from Italy on 9/10. Hadnt even thought about dates.

I always get pulled aside for further search, and that just makes me look/act more suspicious. Really need to be drugged. Fortunately, I like to drive.

(21,716 posts)4. It took me a few months to be able to fly at all
Nerves got the better of me. It wasn't the date for me, just flying. I have now gotten over it.

kids born on 9/11 are 17 now. They've only seen the videos.
