60. Excuse me, but that is an illogical reaction.

I have no expectations as to what mode that you should use to return to London. And, I have no desire for you to teach the TSA a lesson. In fact, my post didn't refer to teaching the TSA a lesson at all. You created that out of your imagination.

If you want to go, then go.
