Given the terror thing on a plane over in the UK and the banning of computer and liquid carry-ons, it’s clear that the next step is flying nekkid, as Greg “Fotonotes” Elin has said.
Seems to me when you have a system like this w/ many points of big possible failure instead of one, you gotta make those points smaller and less impactful. Like individuals driving cars and/or crashing them.
Time for personal electric flying machines if you ask me (since the whole car-thing didn’t work out so well).

I love the avrocar idea — where can we get one? How many charges would it take to get from, say, New Hampshire to…hmmm… San Francisco? Do you think it could hold a transatlantic charge so we could hop to London terrorist-free and bring our shampoo to boot?
Hey Mom — not sure, but it’s getting better all the time! And heck, it’s not like there’s a dearth of electricity between here and New Hampshire!
Some of the latest models get up to 250 miles per charge and look pretty slick too.
Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday major policy changes are needed because the Iraq war has divided the nation “almost as much as Vietnam.”
“So there's no doubt that our country is in much more danger now from terrorism than it would have been if we would have done what we should have done and stayed in Afghanistan,” he said on the campaign trail with his son, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Jack Carter.
The former president said the Bush administration made a “terrible mistake” by invading Iraq and diverting troops from Afghanistan.
Jack Carter criticized his opponent, Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., for supporting the Iraq war. Both Carters also said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should go.
“I think he's one of the worst secretaries of defense we've ever had,” the former president said of Rumsfeld. “Almost every decision he has made has aggravated his military subordinates and has also proved to be a mistake.”
