Why go through all the trouble and risk a connection to the organization showing up on a background check when they could just go after the hundreds of far less secure systems around the world, causing far more damage (economic or people) and terror? Oh wait they're incompetent.

I was only a kid in the 90s but I still remember the stark differences of flying back then compared to now. These days the only joy I get from flying is asking specifically for a can of soda and receiving a can instead of a cup that only holds about a third of a can.



I always get tonic water. Nobody else gets tonic water, so once the steward offered me the entire can. Now I get tonic water and ask for the entire can. They always give it to me.

Here I thought it was because I was so clever for drinking tonic water, and they're giving out entire cans of Coke.


On my flight last week, I asked for two cans of Coke, and I got them. It was part of my rejection therapy, and I failed.
