I wonder how much you lose when you return a refundable ticket? I mean, you could buy a refundable
ticket, walk through to the gate, see your family off, then come back and get your money back. There's
probably a non-refundable fee, but it sounds like the net result is paying a little money to avoid a
huge hassle. Do it online even.

Which, since it's possible to do this, even easy to do this, makes you wonder why they think
terrorists won't think of it.

I'm beginning to think that all the so called "security" isn't so much theater as butt-covering. When
another Event occurs, They'll be able to say they did everything they could, but those darn terrorists
are just so smart....
