that reminds me, my little cousin's supposed to be flying to nyc on monday. hope she's not too worried + that (if her flight is disrupted) things sort themselves out asap.
she has a tendency to worry.. +i always find myself looking out for her, as she's the closest thing i have to a little sister.

Can't blame her for feeling worried. I think that's exactly how the Goverments like it.

Flying is so different now...Random trunk searches on the roadway into the airport...armed guards everywhere...
Before 9/11 I used to go to the airport and take some photos of the planes talking off. I'm kind of an aviation enthusiast. But I wouldn't even think of doing that now. Probably would get held for questioning and have my camera taken away.

that hapened to a load of british 'plane spotters' a year or two ago.
i think they were in turkey or somewhere like that. theyd gone specifically to see certain planes.
it was entirely their fault though. they were warned not to by the authorites + still went back to take more pictures. they were arrested + imprisoned on terrorism charges.
turned into a high profile court case to get them brought back to the uk.
fools..
