I'm not sure it's the aircraft that garners most peoples' complaints about air travel. Whether electric or jet fueled, you still have to deal with airport security fascists, delays, ancient infrastructure, a-hole passengers, and greedy airlines.

As with electric cars, they're missing the point. Hi-speed trains, trains, and more trains, along with electric busses, busses, and more busses.

Don't worry, if trains become popular they'll just add airport security to train stations.

The US way to ensure trains remain secure is to not build any.
