I saw a movie from the 70′s “Parallax” I think, where the protagonist strolls onto a plane, finds a seat and then a sort of conductor comes around for people to buy tickets! It looked awfully convenient, was it really like that anywhere back then?

@ JSW: Most of the airlines have 86′d the peanuts. So now it’s just getting there fast.

Man, for real! I was reading a James Bond novel, “Diamonds are Forever”, and Bond was undercover, smuggling diamonds to America, so when he’s on the plane, the flight security’s checking his luggage and they’re like, “Hey, what’s in this pocket (where the diamonds are)?” and Bond says, “Oh, just some golf balls,” and the security’s like “Cool, golf! Go right ahead!”

@The Dustin: I meant state as in condition, not state as in territory.

I have a dream that someday traveling by plane will have some conveniences other than peanuts and getting there fast.

If you really want to get thier panties in a wad, try packing your belongings into an empty gun case. then time yourself on how long it takes you to get to your seat on the plane. My guess is some where around 14 hours.

I’ve never flown before, but I’ve heard enough “horror stories” to know what not to bring. No way could I wait twelve hours…

Phage83: "Just HOW would a person take over a plane with shampoo? Just wondering." "Take me to Cuba or I wash everyone's hair!" ;-p Tigergulp: "@Mouserz The shoe thing is cause some idiot got the idea to put explosives in their shoes in few years ago after they imposed the 3oz bottle rule." Sorry, but the "shoe bomber" incident happened *before* the so-called "London liquid bomb plot". The more you know...
