#2 I've had several "dealings" with Air Canada, and on every one of them they have done something(s) so stupid it would make you want to tear your hair out. They don't care, they don't have to! They seem to have a culture that seems to get their rocks off on this kind of stupidity. Little Tin Gods. Their behavior needs far more media exposure, but sadly they'll probably never get it. I doubt that any passengers were complaining, and even if they were there is something called an "explanation". Duh. Pinheads.

#3 Canada has it's own sick strain of anti semitism. I have encountered it, but they always try to hide it behind anti Israel's treatment of the Paleos or some other specious drivel. This is just more of the same.

#5 The terrorism terror-mongering has turned some power-hungry flight attendants into little Atillas. You hear lots of horror stories about flight attendants weilding power over hapless passengers. Recently heard one about a flight attendant trying to get the air marshall to throw a man off a plan for allegedly calling him an asshole, even though the man had not even spoken to him. When the man asked to take his 13 yo old who was fearful of flying off with him, the air marshall told him he should have thought of that before calling the flight attendant names. Fortunately, he was rescued by another passenger who insisted on speaking up in his behalf. He was told this was a federal crime of intimidation. This self-inflicted BS is only helping to accomplish bin Laden's goals, which were not military victory, but economic demise and disillusionment/deterioration from within.

#6 Intimidation is not a federal crime.

Good catch, Sheesh. Terrorism has its most significant impact, right at the bottom line, exactly where it intends to. The fact that, every day, it causes the needless deaths of another 9-11 full of 3,000 people whose lives we might have saved were we not so busy spending uncountable treasure and so much military blood interdicting Islamofascists needs to be more keenly highlighted.
