Tighter security ordered for some U.S.-bound flights - CNN.com

Read the full article: Tighter security ordered for some U.S.-bound flights - CNN.com:

""We will work to ensure these necessary steps pose as few disruptions to travelers as possible," Johnson said in a statement. "We are sharing recent and relevant information with our foreign allies and are consulting the aviation industry."

Specific steps or airports were not disclosed. A homeland security official said that TSA would work with airlines and security agencies overseas and that the changes will primarily focus on airports in Europe and the Middle East.

The effort does not involve changes to what travelers can take aboard flights. But passengers may see additional inspections of shoes and electronics, additional use of scanners designed to detect trace amounts of explosives, and another stage of screening at boarding gates, in some cases, the official said.

The measures do not involve U.S. domestic flights, and passengers could see changes as early as next week."

If only things could be so easy! I imagine the algorithm breaks down, when folks are running late, and aren't present to take a seat when the algorithm says go to your seat and sit.

Air Travel Affects Taste Buds

According to the article:

"When’s the last time you enjoyed your in-flight meal? Your answer is probably “never.” And with the first weekend in August being one of the busiest times of year to fly, flight attendants are likely bracing themselves for a new onslaught of complaints about flavorless airline grub.

But is in-flight food really so bad, or is our perception of it just a little off? As it turns out, there’s a scientific reason why food is less savory at 30,000 feet."

Jerk Traveler Worse Than Big Carry-On Rule Breaker

JetBlue Airbus 320 coming in to land at Oaklan...Image via Wikipedia
The JetBlue attendant meltdown sure struck a chord with folks.  This SF Gate article stirred up a litany of comments, Worse on a plane: Oversized carry-on or jerk passenger?

I'd say it depends.  If the oversized offender took up space over my seat, was impolite, and bonked me on the head, then that person is worse.  If the jerk is just all out obnoxious, they should win easily, hands-down.

Wishing you safe, sound, and peaceful travels!
