Say there, blam -- I was curious if you happen to know what the current advice is about batteries -- simply the little AA, AAA, C, D batteries which power small radios, cdplayer, clocks, etc.

Do you by any chance happen to know what the survivalists advise?

One can't really stock up on too many -- because they will go bad in storage, right?

We are "low" on C and D batteries right now, and I'm considering getting a solar charger -- but I wonder if there are any really superior brands, or if it's better to simply rely on everready & duracell.

Thanks.

AirTran e-mail stirs up Internet firestorm -with video (FAA now investigating)

The FAA is investigating an incident aboard an AirTran flight from Atlanta to Houston that touched off a firestorm of e-mails.

AirTran Flight 297 was delayed on November 17 after a passenger refused to turn off his cell phone.

*snip*

According to the e-mail, Petruna and other passengers believed they witnessed a dry run for a terrorist attack. Petruna said he couldn’t talk on camera, but Chaplain Keith Robinson, who was also on the flight, did talk with us.

“Flight attendants were sobbing openly,” Robinson said. Robinson said a passenger getting off the plane warned him not to get on.

“He said ‘I just saw them there were these Middle Eastern men. They were taking pictures. They wouldn’t sit down, ‘” Robinson said. “Besides that, he said a couple of them were making gestures with their hand as if they were shooting people.”
