This week’s most ridiculous plan to make air travel more tolerable

Following a spate of recent air rage incidents on flights a group in Denver plans to open a smoking lounge air-side at the airport in an effort to make the travel experience more relaxing.  Of course, they plan to permit the smoking of marijuana in the lounge, not just tobacco. 

They admit that they haven’t really thought through any of the legal issues of the plan, but they’re also the group behind the recent ballot initiative that had all penalties for possession removed, so they are pretty sure they’re on to something.  Of course, with the removal of snacks on flights or the buy-on-board approaches that most airlines have, this could come back to haunt them, causing more issues for those with the munchies.

Yeah, it is pretty ridiculous, but also pretty funny.
