Haven’t set foot in an airport in fifteen years. The affirmative-action TSA goons piss me off so badly that I’d wind up on national news. They’ve done their last body-cavity search on me.

Will the advanced new coach seats have some type of device to keep the fat sweaty body parts of the people you are seated between from squishing up against you and dripping all over you. Because I could have used a seat like that on the fully loaded 5 hour flight I took back from Chicago.

Planes will now be another place where you will be monitored, recorded and your data sold to third parties. Some airlines are already doing it with their seat cameras that watch you throughout the flight.

I will NEVER fly again unless it was absolutely necessary which hopefully never happens again. My last flight was Philadelphia to L.A. It was pathetic from TSA to the fact that everybody brought their own food on it!

Awesome news!

We need more technology - especially when it comes to monitoring.

I hear Boeing is even working on some high-tech thing that won’t kill all the passengers!

On an unrelated note: does anyone else ever think of the Architect Skit and Cleese’s slaughterhouse designer while riding the moving sidewalks past murals at the airports?

We were told that electronic devices and cell phones interfered with the navigation. Now they are connecting everything?

What gives?

Long enough to go pee and wash my hands. All the airlines had to do was ask.

I fly all the time and have never personally had a problem with TSA.

I’ve only been pulled out for a random once and they were very professional.

It’s like any other occupation; the malcontents and incompetents get all the press.

Future Planes Will Track Lots of Data on Passengers, Including How Long They Spend in the Bathroom

There goes the old Mile High Club.

With lots of “I’ll never fly again” sentiment here, might as put a plug in for GA.

Obviously, doesn’t help everybody... but perhaps a few might be interested:

Getting your pilot’s license takes about 30 hours with an instructor, and 30 hours “solo”. Do it over a 6-month period.
Yes, it will cost you a few bucks. But, in exchange, you’ll have another option to TSA and airlines.

A new pilot will typically rent or share in a plane (I recommend the latter); a new pilot can easily travel within, say, a 500 mile radius. (You’ll need more experience and an instrument rating to go much further).

Hopefully, they can first figure out how to give me a bit more leg room, and prevent wide-body, overweight people from taking half my seat, I will be ok.

Don't need them to analyze my pooping patterns.

Seats will have removable upholstery that will be replaced each flight. They will be kept as scent samples for dogs.
