Good to know. My own point at which airlines are worth the hassle has increased from a 6 hour one-way drive to 14 since the security "improvements" began. Which means that I'm regularly spending ~6-8 additional hours on the road simply to avoid an ~2 hours of airport security unpleasantness[1]. Driving > 6hrs generally costs more too. And it's still worth it to avoid the security process.
[1] even better - once through security I can look forward to a cramped, unpleasant experience for the duration of the flight (6'2" guarantees miserable - the $20/inch of legroom option notwithstanding).
