Wow, Thomas, that's some list of bad experiences! I must've been
incredibly lucky - fairly frequent flyer over the last several years
(say 10-20 flights a year) and the worst grief I've ever had was some
minor hassle leaving Sydney when the X-ray bloke refused to hand-check
my 1600 film, even though there was a sign saying films faster than 1000
would be hand checked. But he relented.
If you want to avoid air travel you should have a look at
