Nice to shake things up a bit....

Someone is having a little news mash-up fun.  And I approve.  "Take this 
plane to Cuba, or I will remove my passport from the mylar packet!!"

And I'll remind people that if you want to blow up a plane with 
something from the cargo hold, you could use a time or altimiter.. or 
maybe even a GPS, blow it up where you like.  Take THAT naked, 
blindfolded, handcuffed-to-my-seat airlines.

How much does it cost to charter a big plane?  Couldn't I just save up 
and go into a lot of debt for that?  What do I care if I'm going to 
crash it into things...
