good idea. There is usually a baby on the plane that cries all night when I fly. I can't get a wink of sleep. Xanax would just knock me out.

Heck No, I don't like to fly as it is. I usually have to take a Xanax before I fly

that settles it, if I win the Mega Millions jackpot tonight, I'm buying Saylorgirl a first class ticket to Paris...... Paris, Tennessee that is.

I've entertained this thought as well ....

but I think it would prove more interesting to take flying lessons and rent the odd plane when needed

This. I don't think I would ever fly that often (I still haven't flown, but I've driven to/from California and Illinois) so I don't think it would be a waste to fly private each time.

I wouldn't have a fear of commercial, but like you said, don't agree with the policies of the TSA and prefer not to deal with it.

Yes of course since the two odds have nothing to do with one another. Winning a lottery doesn't alter the odds of being in airplane accident. The 2 events are completely independent.

Yes, the odds of a one in a lifetime of 175, or relatively less million to one odds repeating (back to back), is probably into the Trillions. ,,,

To answer your question more succinctly and in the vein it was asked, yes, I would still fly. Just not commercial.

If I want an x-ray I'll go to the doctor, no more flying for us.

I would buy my own plane, hire my own personal (well trained) pilot, and pray before each take off. Just like playing the lottery each flight will be a gamble, when it's your time it's your time.

I stopped flying when the TSA adopted the gestapo tactics.

I won't subject myself or my family to that simply because they refuse to profile solely in the interest of political correctness.

Feeling up frightened children and cavity searching women at random is absolutely ridiculous, totally outrageous and completely unnecessary.

But evil prevails when good men do nothing.

Let's say you beat 175 million to one odds to win Mega Millions or Powerball. Would you still fly in an airplane knowing the odds of being in an airplaine accident are less than 175 million to one
