Using google as a mostly blind search doesn't equal the advice you'd get from /. What you've seen and what's recommended here (even with the grain of salt) are different things.

I'm using IAPS (intl-alliance.com). It works ok. Facebook knows it's a proxy and sometimes won't refresh when other things do. $105/year. I'm not sure if it's worth it, but it's the choice I made. Saudi laws are very strict but it was stopping me from Rolling Stone magazine (reading Matt Taibbi's blog/columns) that got me off my ass.

Size and security is different in Israel. It's not the same as the US. Security is done behind the scenes. TSA shouldn't be expected to find anything because if a plot has reached it that far, they'd know how to get around TSA.

I'd treat flying as a calculated risk. The cockpits are sealed, so deal with it. It's still safer than driving.

I used to work there about 6 or 7 years ago back when one of my co-workers allegedly tried to steal a monkey although it was determined that the monkey must've escaped by crawling down the drain. If there's one thing a monkey is likely to do it's go up, not run for the middle of the floor and try going down a drain pipe. Everyone assumed that it was a monkey heist that went wrong.

If they started arming the security that was there then, that would be far more dangerous. He's likely to shoot himself in the face while scratching his head with the barrel Planet 9 style.

Doors are locked. Doors to the SIV monkeys are always locked. Keys are constantly being changed as people quit or lose their keys. I'm still close friends with someone who works there. Keys are still changed a lot.

I love traveling by motorcycle, or car when I'm with people. I enjoy travel more than destination in many ways. "Summer Vacation" was ruined for the Griswold's because it was about destination, not travel. Not that I ever had even thought about "What I learned from watching 'Summer Vacation'".

Wyoming is beautiful too. If you stay only on I-80 it's like you're on the moon, and if you're like me (which you aren't since you don't seem to like traveling), stay off the interstates and it's green and hilly depending on the time of the year. I've traveled across the US about a dozen times and my favorite experiences weren't on the interstates. But it depends on families, who you're traveling with, moods and destinations. I can't ride/drive to Australia.

When I'm in the US, I prefer to drive, ride or take the train. I'll fly if I have to, but I don't like going through TSA. I'm not a picky traveler. I'll eat whatever and sit wherever but just the general tone of foreign airlines is much nicer. Metal knives and forks (that TSA wouldn't let you bring anyway). Staff that doesn't seem as dickish, often actually polite! I like tilting at windmills and one of them is US based airlines. I see spending the extra $70 as well worth it.
