^ to the OP for going to the media with this.

On a side note, is this thread going to become the most viewed in FT history? It seems headed that way.
I don't think this thread will get there ... unless more TSA nonsense of this sort occurs sooner than later. Still impressive. (I actually hope it does get there, because it may help more people recognize the dog and pony show that goes on at airports and it may help more people realize the benefits of frequent flyer miles and hotel points.

(Thanks to the moderators for their hard work on this thread -- much of which is so efficient that even the heaviest users of this thread are unaware of the volume of the work that has been required to keep this thread on topic, and to facilitate a healthy discussion.)
