Air travel mess and high gas prices

With all the new security measures at airports, I'm seriously thinking of driving more whenever possible. In the time after 9/11, we do need to be more defensive. Looking at the higher cost (both time and cost) on air travel and ever increasing gas prices ($3.8/g for me last week), however, we are actually losing. When we looking back 20 years later, the war on terror (or at Iraq) may not be our wisest moves against Bin Laden.
