For me, it is the response to Sept. 11, not the acts themselves that have made travel more annoying (but I understand that's how it's got to be). Last week, I was searched three times and my bags twice for a flight from DC to San Antonio, connecting in St. Louis.
On the other hand, I can say that DC hasn't had half the tourists this year it normally does. Between people losing jobs/money and the fear that they are in a target city, they are just not willing to come someplace like this. Personally, I was in NYC the last week of Sept. 2001 to stay at a nice hotel, take in a Broadway show, and shop. I think changing our lives for them, with the exception of security, is giving in.
