What have you ever accomplished on a flight that couldn't have been done via electronic communication?

Tourism is an important part of the US economy, especially in places like Hawaii. And you can't get there very quickly on a boat. Whole towns in Alaska aren't on the road network and literally depend on airplanes be able to eat.

Getting everyone into a room together is often important for business negotiations.

My wife and I have informal plans to go to Jamaica/Cayman Islands/Dominican Republic in the future and I certainly don't want to lose that option due to a bunch of wacko ragheads.

The easiest solution is to continue the current British regulations on not bringing anything on board but your wallet and necessary meds, basically. Include with that a small bag with a couple changes of clothes that is fully hand-searched and x-rayed before the flight. Any liquids or toiletries needed can be purchased at the destination. Hotels usually will supply that stuff free of charge anyway.

That method of security can continue until my plan of eliminating all Muslims from the earth (outlined briefly in my previous post) is completed. Then things can return to normal for the freedom-loving, good, non-insane people of the world.

Until then, we must lie in the bed that PC nutjobs who don't want to "offend" or "profile" air passengers have made for us.

As far as getting everyone together to do business...that's BS in my book. It's just an excuse to have a big expense account and tell the people at your country club that you wine and dine in exotic locations. Get a webcam, a good web conferencing setup, and a good set of pc speakers and save a bundle of money for your company, shareholders and customers.

If crap like what's happening tonight keeps up, there won't be anyone wanting to fly anyway, and the airlines will go bye-bye, or need government subsidy to operate.
