@DAN – that is sufficient for how you arrive at the airport, however before boarding they will have to confiscate the “clear vinyl jockstrap” and flip-flops, then tie you up, blindfold you, gag you, drug you to the point of unconsciousness, then they will stack the cages like cargo in the aircraft. You will be revived upon landing. Any protest of these procedures will be seen as admission of guilt to being a terrorist.

Airlines will save money by not having to provide seats, windows, lavatories, food, water, flight attendants, IFE, or cabin lighting – and by being able to fit 3 times as many passengers in the aircraft. It’s a win-win for the government and the airline. Emergency exits will be replaced by a “cargo jettison” feature. No baggage will be allowed a all – checked or carry-on. This will keep us safe and save the airlines more money. You can still pay to use the fedex luggage feature but the fees will now be higher. Enjoy your trip!

I have to fly later this month, please publish an official rule guide. If no rules are forthcoming I will feel compelled to arrive at the airport in a clear vinyl jockstrap and flip flops and FEDEX my luggage. Would this be acceptable?

@ Oliver — I wasn’t really meant as a trick question, & I was not expecting an answer (today)… Who says he isn’t willing to tell the TSA? only thing I’ve read is that his response was hey let me chat with my lawyer first (& then I’ll maybe tell ya…)

I don’t (& hope I never do) know the first thing about Subpoenas I could see the scenario where he called up his lawyer last night or this am, & his lawyer told Chris XYZ & then Chris “called” up the TSA & told them where he got it from & it was all semi-”resolved” by now… After all he is supposed to give TSA an answer by COB tomorrow…

but your point (still @ Oliver) is 100% valid, I’m just explaining my reasoning for my “trick” question…
