This is a great idea.

What I want to see is a no-security airline, an airline with no x-ray, preflight screening, baggage search, or other "security" hassle. Passengers simply walk straight onto the plane after signing a release indemnifying the carrier should anything bad happen during the flight. Security becomes the responsibility of the passengers.

Better yet, the airline could just issue each passenger a sidearm and seven rounds of ammunition as they got on the plane. I'd like to see a terrorist try to hijack an airplane full of armed passengers...

If you can stand the language full of "F-bombs" and other assorted language not usually heard in polite company

The Kid From Brooklyn expounds on Bat Day at Yankee Stadium and airline security.

I know, that's the one I'm waiting for too. I'd even fly that one in preference to the smoking one. Problem is federal regulations requiring all that crap. Would probably have to structure the airline as a charter to get around the regs, but I'll bet enough people would fly it that "charters" might be available to any given destination as often as regular commercial flights.
