Actually....why NOT start basis fares on weight? It would maybe encourage people TO actually try to live and eat healthier. A heavier person does require more fuel, etc....so, it isn't a discriminating factor based on a person's looks, but upon a cold hard cash factor in that it is more $$ to fly that person than someone that weighs less. I know the money is a drop in the bucket on one flight, but it adds up significantly over the airlines' fleets.
I'd be all for that.
Sure. Sounds great.
Now, why don't we just take it a little bit further. Males statistically weigh more than females. Taller, stronger, more muscle build by nature.
Why don't we charge males more than females to fly?
Ya, you might manage to kill someone but not 20 people.
Guns do not by themselves kill people... The same tired argument repeats itself over and over again. But it sure as hell makes it a whole lot easier to point and shoot a tool designed to KILL with little to no skill and in a very short period of time.
Someone will stop you before you manage to kill 27 children with a keyboard.
So with peer pressure today, what kid in their right mind is going to want this phone?
It isn't an iPhone or a BlackBerry...
This will be a failure, just like the Zune.
Please, please, please, get your facts straight:
The first case of SARS appeared in November 2002. It killed 800 people around the world, including 44 in Toronto. The disease killed 350 in China. That country later ordered the killing of some 10,000 civet cats, suspected to be carriers of SARS. The weasel-like mammals are considered a delicacy in Guangdong and are served in wild-game restaurants.

Terrorism should be John Asscroft's priority.

Since I never heard of this element before:
Tritium (symbol T or 3H) is an isotope
Isotopes of a chemical element are atoms whose nuclei have the same atomic number, Z, but different atomic weights, A. The word isotope, meaning at the same place, comes from the fact that isotopes are located at the same place on the periodic table.
The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom. Thus, isotopes of a particular..... Click the link for more information.

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is called the atomic number, and determines which element the atom is (for example hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, etc.).
Though the positively charged protons exert a repulsive electromagnetic force on each other, the distances between nuclear particles are small enough that the strong interaction (which is stronger than the electromagnetic force but decreases more rapidly with distance) predominates. (The gravitational attraction is negligible, being a factor 1036 weaker than this electromagnetic repulsion.)..... Click the link for more information.

and two neutrons In physics, the neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass of 940 MeV (very slightly more than a proton). Its spin is 1/2. The nucleus of most atoms (all except the most common isotope of Hydrogen, which consists of a single proton only) consists of protons and neutrons. Outside the nucleus, neutrons are unstable and have a half-life of about 15 minutes, decaying by emitting an electron and antineutrino to become a proton. The same decay method (beta decay) occurs in some nuclei. Particles inside the nucleus are typically resonances between neutrons and protons, which transform into one another by the emission and absorption of pions. A neutron is classified as a baryon, and consists of two down quarks and one up quark...... Click the link for more information. , whereas a normal hydrogen nucleus consists of just one proton. Its atomic weight The atomic weight (or, more accurately, the atomic mass) of an isotope of a chemical element is the mass of one atom of that isotope, expressed in units (atomic mass unit, amu) such that the Carbon-12 isotope receives atomic weight 12. Before the 1960's, this was expressed so that the Oxygen-16 isotope received the atomic weight 16, however, the proportions of Oxygen-17 and Oxygen-18 present in natural oxygen, which were also used to calculate atomic mass led to two different tables of atomic mass......

Guaranteed easy kill for any wannabe terrorists who drive a loaded truck or car bomb underneath this bus. Stupid idea.
