Freaks! Dear lord...we're being over run by control freaks...
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Travelling by plane is really stressful .

    Queues ; hot cramped conditions ; worrying about excess baggage ; trying to carry 3 suitcases plus hand luggage for my wife , child and me ; where did I put the passports ; don't lose the boarding cards .

    Don't ask me to smile as well .

    It amazes me the difference between flying commercial and private. You know all the hassles you have to put up with but flying private as I do now...we drive right up to the plane and get right on.

    I mean just once did the pilot check to see who I was and that was just the first time after that we drove up and hopped in. No security check, no metal detectors none of that stuff.

    If I had a pound of herbs I could just hall it where ever we travel except internationally, we haven't done that yet. We'll see later this year in that we're supposed to go down to Barbados. This country is becoming one with the haves and the have nots.

    I'm usually so nervous, what with all the dicking around with getting my meds onto the plane in my hand luggage and just all the nervous energy expended being bossed around and watched, it really doesn't take much to set me off when I'm at an airport. And that's before we even get into me being a nervous passenger. So I'm thinking there isn't usually much smiling going on so I can quite imagine how it's gonna go down with these new "watchers". Like I say, I'm screwed! :eek:
    NOPE!!!
