After recently traveling between Toronto and Florida and having to wait for 3 hours to clear security, (in the priority lane), and listening to countless business people complain of how the new security measures have made their jobs, “living hell,” I’m wondering how much more they will take. Have these security measures caused a need for a more complex MIS system to allow increased video-conference calling, a form of a virtual boardroom? Or is in person meetings really worth the pain of now having check the luggage you were once able to carry on, and the hours of waiting in security line-ups?

Personally I would think that it would solely depend on how the company views each employee. If I had a top-level employee who said they would only work for me if I could guarantee them minimal air travel, I would invest the money into a more complex MIS system, however, if the employee was easily replaceable, I would probably say, “see ya later.”
