If passengers were banned from airliners, then perhaps we'd go back to the steam locomotive and enjoy a slower paced lifestyle, rather than racing around like idiots. I for one am all for it. The concept of travel with dignity and comfort seems out of step today.

BEGIN RANT. I know I'm a throwback, but I'd much rather take a luxurious ride on a train than be patted down as though I were a suspect (they don't even do that at our very scrupulous local courthouse), strapped into a large aluminum sardine can, and tossed into the air willynilly. END RANT.

Everyone in my family disagrees with me. No one likes the journey itself. They all want to arrive yesterday.
