The Onion : FAA Considering Passenger Ban 'Seeking to address 'the number-one threat to airline security,' the Federal Aviation Administration announced Monday that it will consider banning passengers on all domestic and international commercial flights.'
Having just flown recently - on USScare - er - I mean USAir, I found this piece particularly funny... considering they treat you in such a manner that you'd never know it was a profit motivated service industry. heh.
It's also interesting to note that upon entering the Philadelphia airport to leave for Mexico, I was subjected to a 'random search', and was made to remove my shoes. On my way out of Cancun airport, I was allowed to board the airplane without a passport or any form of photo identification (I'd lost my driver's license in Mexico somewhere), and was not asked for any form of I.D. whatsoever upon arriving at the Philadelphia airport.
