S: Fly to North Carolina on 9/11

[rajatQ2]

Job is sending me to north carolina, and guess the date. 9/11. I'm not a paranoid person, but with all the sh* that's been happening on the airlines these days, I really dont want to fly that day. Boss is sending me to do the design on a $8m computational cluster we're building, so i'm pretty psyched about that part.

Which day would be better to fly on, 9/10 or 9/12 ? I dont mind getting stuck at home, i'd hate to be stuck in raleigh/durham north carolina though :disa:

I'd fly on 9/11. The flights are much lighter that date and your flight doesn't seem like much of a terrorist target.

[rajatQ2]

nah, not going to fly on 9/11. I'm not worried about my own flight, rather events on other flights.

On 9/11/2001, airlines accross the country were shut down for 3 days.

Plus, i'm brown so security would be a b*tch on that date

Just make sure to make a phone call from your cell phone on the plane.

J/K. I guess if you don't want to fly out on that specific date then 9/10 or 9/12 are fine. Though, I'd go 9/12 because once the 9/11 date has passed security will be a little more lax.

I'd rather go when security is tighter. All it takes is one person to be let through security and it's game over.

I would fly on 9/10 .. Because eventhough It's 5 years later if someone WERE to do something on that date, then they will shut down air traffic on 9/11 .. 9/12 etc.. and you won't be able to go. So if you really want to go.. Go before.. and you may just end up stuck there.

:shrug: I'd fly whenever.

I'll not allow "them" to keep me on edge.

Though, Thesifer has a good point.

maybe the airports will be semi-empty on 9/11.
no lines, no waiting. :)

raleigh/durham would be a great place to be stuck in!

[MrGreg]

I'll see your North Carolina and raise you a NYC.

I found out this afternoon that I'm flying to NYC tonight (I'm at the airport now) and coming back on 9/11. Anybody got a line on US Open tickets for the weekend?

Everyone will be fine, security will be really high with many unmarked marshalls. I feel safe.
