I care more about liberty and freedom than I do about the fiscal condition of the airlines....their bottom line has been lousy for years, even when the economy was good.

I recently found an old copy of the business section of the L.A. Times in a cardboard box in a closet. It was from 1990. For the hell of it, I looked up the prices of stock back then. UAL, the parent company of United Air Lines, was selling for over one hundred dollars per share. The price per share now is a mere shadow of it’s former value.

I’m hoping the airlines will give campaign contributions to congress critters who will fight this nonsense at the airports.....if the airlines scream at congress for some common sense, perhaps they’ll have better luck than us peons, because so far, congress is ignoring the complaints of “We the People.”

I'm with you on the liberty and freedom part but this isn't the airlines doing, it's the Federal Government.

What the airlines do about it remains to be seen and they better fight this tooth and nail or they won't last long.

So in the end this is just another shakedown from this fascist Government, quite possible or maybe it's a way for the bamster to Nationalize the industry when it goes belly up.

There is a goal here, just what it is hasn't become clear yet.

One thing is for sure, the goal is not security.

Opps, let me clarify:

pretty sure UAL went bankrupt once since 1990, so all shares from 1990 are worth exactly zero, and have been canceled. Totally different series of stock trading now.
