The builder tried to talk me into 650B wheels, but I wanted to maintain compatibility with my other bikes, so I got 700C wheels. I have to fully deflate both, and roll the front tire off the rim so it doesn't pull the top of the stand-off up when the Terrorist Support Agency (TSA) opens it to peek. TSA then mashes everything down, which can lead to some problems if/when they mess up the careful arrangement.
Of course, after all that, the one time I found a tire was wearing out, I was on the road and had to go buy another tire instead of using up the stock at home. But I doubt I'd have been able to find a 650B tire around that place...
