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)?"
Geez.

"Western interests"? I think that term does not mean what you think it means. It does not mean bankrupting the US in order to prop up a plutocracy in Tel Aviv.
> Iran's concerns are that, for example, the US is the Great Satan
Easy problem to solve: Stop acting like Satan.
> he continued to shoot at the patroling aircraft
Every nation has the obligation to defend its territory and people against foreign incursion. The USUK axis has bombed
Iraq continuously from 1991 to now. Why? Because they are EVIL.
> Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth
Perhaps you should check your facts. That's a misquote. But given that it is the greatest threat to mankind in the world, a practitioner of genocide, a corrupter of nations, is stockpiling nuclear weapons, practices torture, and is suffuse with an ideology that regards the lives of outside group members as of less value than livestock, I think that it might be a good idea to eliminate the state of Israel before they finish executing the published plan to kill every Christian between the Nile and the Euphrates. Lord knows they're making hella progress on that front in Lebanon today.
