Air travel is very stressful, so stressful that I am scared of the security more than any threats they supposedly protect us from. I fly regularly for my job and about 6 months ago I was "randomely selected" for extra screening -- even with TSA pre check. The person swabing my hands asked why I was shaking, I just told him flying makes me nervous. Truth be told, he makes me nervous with unlimited power over my ability to get back home and see my son. Flying itself is statically very safe from point A to B, the security isnt.
