I know, I’m ranting. I’ve been ranting a lot lately. But it’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. As passengers, there’s not much to do, except to write to legislators with your gripes. What is perhaps more frustrating is that corporations aren’t doing more to protect travelers’ interests (and subsequently their companies’ bottom line). [...] […] I give up. I know, I’m ranting.

Seriously, what else is there to do for seven hours? Plus it'll totally zing the terrorists. I fully support plans to turn all future flights into make out parties.

That finding new friends part is pretty true. My sister's fiance went back to the UK yesterday and there wasn't a lot of people on the plane, so he wandered around and chatted with a flight attendent. If it wasn't for the new restrictions he'd probably play Monster Hunter on his PSP all the way home. Funny post!

Love it! I travelled on the first day of these extended restrictions and it wasn't so bad, the only major problem for US domestic travel is that nearly everyone now has to check a bag (who doesn't have makeup or contact solution or something liquid they will need at their destination?). That makes for a long wait to get your bag after the flight, but nobody is fighting for overhead bins! Freaking hillarious post! Love it!
