Charter Flight Websites / Services?
X86Daddy asks: "TSA's latest announcement banning all fluids (toothpaste even) from carry-on luggage is the icing on a very sour cake. Many passengers are growing tired of the invasive security screenings, the increasing prices, lost and stolen luggage, and the decreasing quality of service with commercial flights in the United States. However, given the geographical size of this country and the lack of rail options, flight remains the only practical method of travel for most destinations. Can anyone suggest alternative flight services? Are there websites that connect Cessna or other small scale air charter services with interested passengers? I've found CharterX and CharterHub but they seem more geared toward executives looking for jets. Does anyone have experience traveling this way? Is the price point a lot higher, making this a dumb idea (just resign myself to buying toiletries at every destination and prepare for the mandatory anal probes in '07)?"
... I know that B.A. Baracus is happy.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
It's a little known fact that 4 out of 5 people killed with nail scissors in the U.S. are killed not by someone else's nail scissors, but by their own.
The problem is, of course, that people are not properly trained in nail scissor use. People think that carrying nail scissors is a way to protect their nails, but they don't understand that those same nail scissors can be turned against them, if they are not prepared to use them when a dreaded hang-nail rears its ugly head.
Someone save us. Please. 2/3ds of American citizens need your help.
We have like 28 tanks and 431 snowmobiles ready to rush across the border at various points. Please pull the power plugs from your military bases and all will go OK, eh. Can you wait until there is a good snow pack before we proceed?
I've seen a guy like that getting on Air Force One, maybe they better check him out
