Be careful what you wish for - "Bottoms Up" no longer means Ice Wine on DL B/E metal..

On a similar note, wasn't the notion of having a completely separate screening line and area expressly prohibited by the TSA because it doesn't allow for "equal opportunity" among fliers? I guess since everyone is paying the same amount to be "safe," they wouldn't allow airports to utilize TSA agents and equipment exclusively for elites. This happened many months back. Anyone remember more information?

Really now folks. What are we doing TODAY that would make a repeat of 9/11 difficult? Think hard.
The ONLY changes that MIGHT prevent a repeat tradgedy are:
a) the reinforced cockpit doors and
b) the change in policy in reacting to hijackers.
NONE of the other wasteful measures is going to stop it. So, why do we continue to do it? All we are doing is running the economy further into the ground and letting the terrorists WIN.
