Already flying is becoming too much of a hassle for many people flying for both business and pleasure and the competition will be trains, automobiles and the Internet. And you don't think this is coming to the alternatives you mentioned?
Trains/subways -- random bag searches are already here.

All of it for your protection, of course.
Nah, lopping off limbs is so barbaric. A simpler solution is to hit undo several billion times until you get to your "seed" state, next insert your updated code, and then fast forward... and presto: brand new, claw sporting individual.
