What's the point of blowing up a jetliner if it's only half full due to people afraid of colds? This "remedy" from this "teacher" obviously was part of the master strategy ... let's waterboard KSM some more, I bet he confirms everything after a few near-asphyxiations. I can’t wait until the terrorist teachers unions try and jump to the fraudster’s defense.

I can't wait until the terrorist teachers unions try and jump to the fraudster's defense.

You spend 6 hours on a plane with zero atmospheric water, your respiratory system becomes dessicated and very vulnerable to infection. That's why I always spray water up my nose when I'm flying (yes, seriously). That's a sure way to even the odds. Boeing's next airliner supposedly has normal cabin humidity, pressure, and temperature. I guess we'll find out when they finally start delivering them.
