permanent solution to terrorists in the sky

I know the TSA has been a hot topic for many people on here. Many people like Spiff feel strongly one way, and many others feel strongly the other way.

Rather than continue to philosophically debate this issue ad nauseum, I'm going to do something about it!!!!

I'm starting my own airline as of midnight tonight. It's going to be called....

Terrorist Express(copyright/registered/trademark 2002, UALOneKPlus)

Only terrorists will be allowed to fly this airline, with radio controlled piloting from the ground.

There will be NO TSA. Terrorists will be allowed (even encouraged) to bring whatever weapons of mayhem they see fit onboard.

When in the air, terrorists will be encouraged to smoke, walk about in turbulence, rush the cockpit, shoot people, throw grenades, slit one another's throats.

There shall be one flight daily, from Iraq to some undetermined destination. Roundtrip is free, on us...

We hope to successfully complete one month of flight operations, with total loss of aircrafts. Then we shall have an IPO, hopefully to raise additional capital for expanded services throughout the world, so terrorists everywhere will no longer have to fret about what civilian airline to board, when they can hijack their very own airline!!!



-----------------------------------------
The terrorist that gets the most frequent flier points will be given his own 30 minute interview on Al Jazeera.

Terrorist Express, come fly the unfriendly skies with us!

Reservations: 1-800-Ican-Hijack
Customer Service: 1-666-Goto-Hell

Will you have a FF program? What about fees for changing reservations? :-)

We hope to implement those "Customer Enhancements" in the 2nd quarter of 2003.

The FF program is going to be named "Mileage Minus". The rewards levels are:

1) Silver Turd - killed 1 person
2) Gold Turd - killed or maimed 10 persons
3) Platinum Turd - killed or maimed 50 persons
4) and...our exclusive top level - Executive Platinum Turd - reserved for our most distinguished guests - those on the Most Wanted Terrorists top 10. *

*(note, we will NOT comp this level from any other airline - so don't even ask!)

With regards to the change fee, we are considering several options, including:

1) 2 AK 47's & 100 grenades
2) your 1st born son and wife
3) shave your beard and mustache, and your legs and armpits as well
4) mystery fee (might be something like - date with Anna Nicole Smith)

Applications are due ASAP. Please download your applications from www.fbi.gov now and submit electronically.

Our airline shall commence trading on the stock exchange on November 30, with the ticker symbol:

TERDS

Please ask your local stock broker to see if you can get in on the family and friends program for early participation of pre-IPO shares!!!!

Reminds me of the solution to drunk driving suggested years ago.

We should allow drunk driving, and make a special travel lane for it. Actually only one lane - for both directions......
