scare lines
the airline industry is very sensitive to the price of fuel. which as i've said ad nauseum is only going to go up. so they're hurting. and many will go bankrupt. they can try to go to the government and say please bail us out. but ha ha. pass the price to the consumer. no sympathy. fortunately the airlines are under attack by terrorists. now they can raise prices and blame it on terrorism. and the massive extra cost of security theatre. now they can go to the government and get special treatment. it's a matter of national security.
