Here's an idea: Let's say you are really mistrustful of this whole 'rounding up the terrorists' thing AND you're pissed about the long lines at the airport, etc. Completely understandable. We could create an airline that does NOT security screen at all and the people who are upset about the fantasy of threat or the length of time it takes to get thru the airport could fly this line.

hahahahah Good idea Bri:)

I'm serious.

Would that be a smoking allowed airline?

DanaC has a point though; several "terrorist" cases in the UK turned out to be a mistake with completely innocent people being killed and/or injured.

No. No smoking, no drinking and your women must cover up.

Why is this such a dismissive idea? Put your money where your mouth is.

IF the planes had been blown up over the Atlantic, the cries would be, "WHY OH WHY DIDN'T OUR GOVERNMENTS KNOW ABOUT THIS?" etc. Can't really have it both ways, eh? Even you must know that.

Or you can fly with me, and I don't search you at all. Carry a concealed handgun: fine with me, I've got mine too.

The fact is, if I wouldn't trust you in my airplane with a weapon, I wouldn't trust you in it without one anyway.

Drawback: Limited destinations and schedules available, and no lavs.

No topless service then I presume. Sorry, I'll make reservations with Hooters Air.

I might consider topless service in warm weather. :-)

Hell, I would fly on an un-checked aircraft.

I mean damn, the terrorists themselves are going to use it with their photoshopped Visas & passports and concealed weapons. Probably safer than the usual flights, where no matter what colour, nationality, religion or age you are simply seen as available statistics for international blackmail.

At least I would be able to take a cheap bottle of vodka & a bottle of Diet Coke on with me and forget the danger 30 minutes into the flight. What member of cabin crew would berate me for being peacefully drunk knowing I might have a home made vest underneath my top? And I don't mean one knitted by my Gran.

You....you don't mean.....Crocheted do you?

I always get crotchety when I've got my semtex knickers on....

Alrighty then, where can I check in?

Depends where you want the flight to originate.

mmmm..... how about Orlando? by Value Jet.....

Can you get a synthetic semtex-cotton shirt that is wrinkle free? I'm not good with an iron.
