I'd watch it.

I've been flying a lot lately for work and it is indeed dreadful. As mentioned, the security checkpoints really aren't that bad at all. After so many flights, it becomes second nature to get through security as you push three laptops through the belt.

But, nothing makes the flight enjoyable except for watching episodes of television on iTunes.

"I don't know anyone who likes flying commercial."

Just us Canadians flying WestJet! The vast majority of my travel experiences with them are 100% positive.
