I'm on the west coast for work pretty frequently. I'd like to see you take a bus out there. |

JD, buses no, but if you ever get a few extra days, take the California Zepher out of
Oakland to Chicago and fly from there.
Best train trip I ever had, the scenery and wildlife is unbelieveable.
Just make sure you get a sleeper.  |

Then take the train if you don't want to put up w/the requirements. |

I'm guessing you haven't traveled for work much. I take the train for most of my travel for anywhere between Boston and DC. The reason the TSA is able to get away with this crap and force people to be groped, molested and interrogated without any probable cause is because people *have* to fly and there is not other practical choice for many locations. |

I've flown plenty of times for work - not as much recently. I've never been bothered by the searches. Flying isn't a right. |

Anywhere out of Acela range you can't get there via train, the train price is reasonable but be prepared. BOS to CHI is a 25 hour trip via DC with a 2 hour layover in DC. I could drive to CHI faster, total cost 1 way with a sleeper is 300 buck. 90 min plane ride plus SEECURITY |
