From March 10, 2005: FLYING: Everybody's favorite. On my first flight to Europe, everyone dressed for success. Now everyone dresses for Gold's Gym.

Classic describing coach seating: "Veal-pen seat in steerage."
"Shlomo Dror, an Israeli air-security expert, had it right in 2002 when he said: “The United States does not have a security system; it has a system for bothering people.”"
Hmmm. I’d be tempted to say “annoying people” rather than “bothering people”.
Gracious is my muddle name...
...and I call it smoke and mirrors, basically nothing at all to do with security and everything to do with PC window dressing. Refuse to carry anyone with the characteristics of ALL previous attempters and those who have succeeded, and I would call it a good start. We are going to dither till the next disaster, and there surely will be one, or more.
Who wants to fly when your going to have to walk through the PORN scanners? You want some perv checking out your kids?
I’ll never fly again.
I get treated better all of the way because of how I look and because I remember to say please and thank you.
