Default At what point will air travel become unaffordable

When do people think it happen, due to fuel prices.
For example - when will buying an economy ticket be as much of
a burden on your wallet as buying a business class ticket is now?


Long before it becomes too expensive, it will become too much of
a pain in the ass, security-wise. The next terrorist will use plastic
explosive in shoulder pads of sportcoats or in padded underwear.
Then the security monkeys will have no choice but to strip search
many passengers and that will be the last straw for many travelers,
economy or business. When the explosives detectors finally become
sensitive enough to detect these new threats, the terrorists will find
a way to insert explosives up their butt, where only a determined
strip search will find it.

We are going to return to the dark days when most people never
traveled very far from home. People in Europe won't be affected
as much as they will be able to travel by train to many interesting
countries. But the USA and Canada will become a never-ending
suburbia where everyone spends all of their time and money on
their decks and entertainment rooms. Travel while you still can.

People in Europe won't be affected because they generally mind their own
business. That's admirable behavior that no one but a complete idiot would want
to change.

So you are say that is is "admirable behavior" to turn your head when
you see you neighbor being beaten? I really feel sorry for you.

Simply realistic. The admirable thing to do is remove yourself quickly
and place a call to the police.

You suspect the system is broken? Ah, that's a different problem.

Then nothing will be done.

A mob acted in North Carolina just recently, and killed the wrong
person.

This is not "minding" your own business as you stated in your original
statement. it is doing something.

No, my point is that we oughtn't be supplying the clubs.
