Flights where the aircrew and passangers waive their "right" to TSA security precautions would be pretty popular, IMO.

2. What about when that "security free" flight lands in, say, Atlanta.
Now you have maybe 150 people all in the Airport connecting to other flights. Suddenly the entire system is unscreened.

3. Interesting...
...but, in the end, silly and unworkable.

4. I would prefer going through the security shake down if airlines offered "retro" service...
how flying (minus the smoking, and objectification of woman flight attendants) used to be.

I would pay extra for a flight that offered a real meal and a movie again. And screened out the asshole passengers.

5. You can get all that by paying extra, just a LOT EXTRA!


Airlines offer private chartered flights. Bring a movie, no asshole passenger next to you, security through the executive terminal (painless), and personal service.

6. Amazing how the further separation of the wealthy from the poor
now includes ordinary things that were once available to us all.

We are dying.
