There are some words that must be avoided in airports, BOMB is one, Hy Jack: even if your friends name is... And although airport security is largely a joke from the point of view of passenger safety, people must not laugh. The biggest dissonnance would be the no-fly list. I keep hearing about five year olds who are denied transit, because their name appears on the list. Neither moslems or Christians believe in reincarnation and ...... It also seems that once your name is on the list, it is impossible to get off. For now I prefer not to fly, as long as I have the time, I would prefer not to be humiliated. I can take the bus, the train, or drive myself, and enjoy the trip.
