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

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.

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

Even before this 'Brit foiled' plot, I have been hearing (and have not supporting facts) that the private 'business jet' business is booming. With so much security and so much time waiting in airports, the private jet business flying from Teterboro and NE Philly is said to be a major growth industry. This only because commercial airlines service has become so inconvenient and so challenging.

Do numbers or other trends to confirm this?

DanaC · 08-21-2006, 04:42 PM

Yep. At the same time, this week, I saw three apolgies in national newspapers for wrongly *identifying* terrosist suspects.

Yes, they might actually have foiled a plot this time. But there have been over 400 muslim men arrested in the last 3 years on suspicion of involvement in 'terrorist' activities and of them less than 20 have been charged with anything. Of those 20, most have been charged wth unrelated crimes (stuff that the cops found in their flats or houses during their fishing expedition such as potplants or pirate cds.)

Maybe this one was real.

Trilby · 08-21-2006, 05:43 PM

OMG. I can't believe you all arrested innocent Muslim men.

Shame, shame on you.

I'm waiting, Dana, et. al., to fly my airline.

You're full of it. even with evidence you refuse to believe. Good luck to you. When radical Muslims say they hate the West they mean YOU, too. YOU. you all live in a world where muslims hate only the US.

They are coming for you, too.

Savor that for a bit.

I'm sure, Nay, I am CERTAIN, that radical muslim means you, danaC, and all those 'enlightened' females (who so laughably think muslim cares about them--) are at risk! Sign on up! We welcome your sacrifice! Where do we strap on the bomb? the cloak of holes?
