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)?"

    Happy 9/11 From The GNAA
    Gnaa, Nigeria

    We at the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) would like to wish you seasons greetings on this most glorious day.

    As we reach the third anniversary of the momentous destruction of two large ugly buildings by the highly trained agents of mossad (Israels notorious anti-gentile secret service), and the war against sandniggers everywhere that ensued, we have entered into what is widely recognised as a golden age of trolling. This could not have been possible without the assistance of YOU!

    Without the glorious genocidal activites of hooknosed Jews, the gulliblity of pinko Slashbots soaking up whatever Michael Moore shits out, the whining of eurotrash clinging to the tattered remnants of Socialism, and of course, without the poorly washed Muslims who, as we speak, continue their holy and righteous Jihad against the evils of the Israeli Bus Service. Without these people, without you people, our jobs would be so much more taxing, and far less rewarding.

    As your family gathers around the Osama Tree to exchange your gifts of toy Boeings and charred Firemen, we at the GNAA hope that you can all get together in celebration. To pass down your memories of the shock, awe, and arousal you felt. To recall your joy as your anti-Bush FUD was modded to +5, insightful. To remember your hilarious puns at the size of John Kerry's chin, and how they earned you +o in #politics. To giggle girlishly at how your crippling zergrush wowed all who viewed your rancidly coloured MIDI infested xanga blog.

    But most importantly of all. The GNAA would also like to issue our fondest desire for world peace. And hold firm in our resolve that the bloodshed can only be resolved through the pacifying and unifying acts of male-on-male sodomy and fellatio, and through a peaceful male-only world. Can the leaders of the world put aside their differences once and for all and love their fellow man? Can we swap our rusty kalashnikovs for a warm meaty dong? Our explosive belts for exploding rectums? We can only hope.

    Happy Holidays!
    From The Gay Nigger Association of America

    About WTC

    The World Trade Center (WTC) was built in the 1960's by well-known drug-addicted architect Guy Niguere. On massive levels of barbiturates at the time, Niguere made many mistakes in the design of the building, but structurally and stylistically. This led to the towers easy destruction by the Israeli.

    ... is all wrong. There should be an ultimatum: if there is another terrorist attack or attacks causing major loss of life, any country found to be harboring and/or funding Islamic terrorists will be attacked. Not invaded. Attacked. Their cities will be summarily carpet-bombed. All major land lines of communication - roads and railroads into said country will be disrupted. Shipping into the country will be subject to unrestricted destruction by submarines. Flights will be shot down. We have a strong, technologically advanced military. It's time that we used it to put the fear of God into our enemies.

    In order to be fair, this ultimatum should be only *after* we have stopped our meddling in the Middle East. All troops should first be unilaterally withdrawn and all aid to Israel should cease.

    Disengagement combined with a harsh hand in case of further attacks is the only way that we can preserve our society and the sacred liberties upon which this country was founded.

    Right on target, good citizen. Predictably, after almost 6 years of Bush, al Qaeda is larger than ever (some say it has grown by over 1,000%), and Osama is living the high life, occasionally giving public testimonies on the Osama Broadcasting Network (OBN).

    Anyone who thinks Bush's war on terror (more accurately described as war OF terror) is a success need only look at what happened over the past several days. Fortunately the Bushies were given a heads up, so they could tip off their cronies (overlords??) as to invest in all those security-related stocks.......

    And that terrorist stunt in the making - weren't we already tipped off to that by the Phillipine intelligence some years back??? NOT TOO MENTION, that trick has been shown on spy shows dating back to the '60s. Aren't those clowns in DHS paid big bucks to predict this stuff?

    Some believe that rogue elements of the U.S. and other governments have been behind "false flag" terrorist attacks. Then they get their lapdog media to cry out, "Look, crazy arabs attacked us!"

    This was in yesterday's email:
    ...

    In January of 2003 FBI and CIA whistleblowers told Capitol Hill Blue that the White House was scripting phony terror alerts to maintain hysteria, upkeep President Bush's approval ratings and milk extra defense funding. The report that five Pakistani men had entered the States via Canada and were planning on carrying out a dirty bomb or biological attack was completely conjured up by the Bush administration's black propaganda office. New York Harbor was shut down to visibly pump up the fear. One of the named suspects, Mohammed Asghar (pictured left), was tracked down to Pakistan by the Associated Press. He was a fat guy running a jewellers shop and had never even been to America.

    World Net Daily commented,

    "Other sources within the bureau and the Central Intelligence Agency said the administration is pressuring intelligence agencies to develop "something, anything" to support an array of non-specific terrorism alerts issued by the White House and the Department of Homeland Security...CHB reported that FBI and CIA sources said a recent White House memo listing the war on terrorism as a definitive political advantage and fund-raising tool is just one of many documents discussing how to best utilize the terrorist threat."

    Since those early admissions, every single major terror alert that the US, UK or Canadian government has issued has proven to be completely fraudulent and scripted. ...

    I, for one, don't believe that a single 767 took out the WTC towers, especially considering that they were designed to sustain MULTIPLE 707 strikes. And don't get me started on the unexplained WTC7 collapse... Terrorists in the Feral Government, not "crazy arabs", are the real enemies of freedom today.

    As a civil servant and a part of the system that protects you, I can answer. No, we don't fucking work for you. No civil servant works for you. We work independently for your benefit, funded by your legally mandated contribution to the organization that we call government. Just because you pay taxes doesn't mean that the government is in your direct employ.

    It's not our job to convince you of anything. It's our job to protect you from you and other assholes who would seek to do you and the rest of us harm. It's by rule of majority - that means we keep everybody safe, and disregard the snippy rantings of part-time quarterbacks. In interests such as these, the safety of all outweighs the convenience of the one. Just as you think we're too dumb to protect you, we think you're too dumb to protect yourself.

    Trust me, in that I don't like this any better than anyone else, but unless you've got some sort of magical solution that you're willing to offer up, then shut your suck. Either that, or we'll start a new line in the airport for select flights with no security just for you. We'll put out tons of publicity about them, and you won't have to show ID or anything. All you have to do is sign a waiver of liability for the operator/government and pay a $50 premium for added insurance costs. That work for you? How about we relocate your place of employ to the Sears Tower, or maybe the Capitol so you'll feel just as safe as those people will with those flights in the air?

    By the way, a suckling woman is a baby girl. Perhaps you meant lactating.

    All pulling out of Israel will do is... oh nothing, because the Palestinians aren't attacking Israel because we're there, they are attacking Israel because it's Israel.

    Well, we can be sure that we can kill that many. I'm not sure how the ranks would "swell" after we knocked em down hard. Real hard. Anyone been bothered by any fanataical Imperial Japanese lately? Yeah, didn't think so. Playing nice and playing war are 2 different things. One you teach to kids, and the other you teach to soldiers. You send soldiers halfway across the world to play nice for 2 years while the other guy is playing war, pay him what ammounts to $2 an hr and then your surprised when he feels that the people of the US didn't let him do his job?

    Somewhere between the Peace Corps and the Marine Corps are the Firmly Nice Brigade. They are immensly popular with the indecisive, kinda patriotic middle of the road types, but unfortunatly, they have never won a battle as they have never beeen able to stand up their unicorn cavalry unit.

    The Firmly Nice brigade are also popular with terrorists, especially thise from really rich arab nations like Saudi. See, their countries dont get invaded at all, since they are protected by the finest (US and UK) milataries in the world, so their children sleep calmly even while their dads dream of virgins while dozing off during their last flights here in the US.

    Toss a coin, send the Peace Corps or the Marine Corps in, fully funded, and let them do whatever they want to convince a country that there are different ways of doing things. When one doesnt work, you'd better send the other. If you want to be sporting about it, let the country in question call it in the air.

    Or, you can look at history, tally up all the countries that have been set right by Marines, Peace Corps and whatever else, and then be logical and let the numbers decide. We are nerds, right?

    Besides, there's this thing you might've heard of called checked baggage that'll have no problem taking those kinds of things. If it's longer than a weekend trip, you're probably using it already. Hell, I've even shipped a case of beer that way (carefully packed, with each bottle bubble-wrapped) without problems, and I don't see that option going away anytime in the near future.
