Quoted in the New York Times:
“I really do not understand why anybody would want to go anywhere,” Bill Threlkeld wrote. “Stay home. Read a book. Tend your garden. Make love. Drink wine. But most of all — stay home.”

Suits me. I'm dreading the flights to my brother-in-law's wedding in September. Not because I'm afraid of flying. I'm sulky that I can't take my water bottle on a 4+ hour flight, and probably should forego the iPod as well. I'd much rather spend my vacation sitting on the deck here with a cold Chardonnay, in fact.

Obviously they need to put more effort into better scanning techniques. People are not going to want to give up their computers, for example. (And I don't trust the baggage handlers to treat it with any sort of care ...)

They'll treat it carefully -- they'll give it a new loving home, even!

Gosh, that's not exactly what I had in mind, somehow ...
