When was the last time commercial aircrash survivors had to rely on longterm survival skills? The famous soccerteam crash in the Andes is the latest I can recall. Butterknives will not endear you to security personel. My gameplan is to dress infire retardant clothing, sit over the wing next to an emergency door, avoid alcohol and lose myself in a good book, SHARK ATTACK! or AIR CAPMPAIGNS OF WW2 with graphic photos of bombers spiralling down in flames. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> My PSK gets enough attention stowed in my baggage. I just mail it ahead now.
