The gist of the article is that traveling this summer hasn't been as bad as everyone thinks it has been. I disagree. Personally, I hope the passengers' bill of rights actually becomes a law. I don't want to end up trapped on a stupid runway a few feet from an airport. Traveling is really becoming a miserable experience.
