Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group How about a WAY off-topic discussion for the day?

I'd like to suggest a new strategy for terrorists. One hour before arriving at the airport they should drink a gallon of gas. Then by the time they get through security they'll be dead.

I just flew commercial Saturday and Sunday, what a mess! Flying naked is not a solution I fear, there are those who think the PETN was in a condum hidden in a body orface! I guess naked AND a fast acting enema is in store now for TSA..

I mean really....? You can't go to the bathroom an hour before landing. You can't have anything on your lap during the last hour. No blanket, no PDA, no... laptop.

I picture some day where it's going to be so stupid-ridiculous to fly commercially that people are going to start either a. not traveling at all, or b. getting their own private license to avoid flying via the commercial airlines entirely - at least continentally.

The whole 3oz. limit of fluids (or whatever level it is) is ridiculous as well. If 10 terrorists got together on a 250 seat plane with 10 bottles, that would make more than enough of any explosive to get on board... heck, even 3oz. of the right item could be bad (I'm no chemist, but I can't imagine 10 minutes of Googling wouldn't turn up something).
