TSA made that decision for me in 2003. Getting through security on the way back from a business trip did it for me. I was an FAA Employee at the time.
I have been very fortunate. Was pro pilot until 2005. Have flown commercially once since then. Confine my rare trip to summer travel via motorhome. Had a tail dagger to satisfy my flying fix for about 7 years but could not justify expense and fly passion faded. More than happy with freedom granted via motorhome on my own schedule and no crowds nor intrusive searches. Works for me—maybe you ?
