   That’s the ticket…

   But passengers still need to be gassed into unconsciousness once they clear security. No telling what mischief they might get into once the plane’s in the air.

   And besides, since the airlines could now just stack the passengers in racks, they could do away with “in-flight crew”, drop the pretence of food service, halt XM Radio or videos, and before you know it, flying would be cheap again!

   Gives a new meaning to “checking bags at the gate,” eh?

   Trouser snakes. On a plane. Without the trousers, of course.
