But I'm on to you. I know what this is really all about and you're not fooling me.

It's no secret that airlines, except for a few renegade ones like Southwest and Jet Blue, are losing money year after year and many will go broke soon. We all know that. This latest scam yesterday is but just another attempt to get poor innocent citizens like me to carry your weight.

Mark my words...you'll see this happening soon. You'll be on a flight and of course, thanks to this latest scam, you've not been able to carry on any beverages. About a half hour into the trip, they'll kick the A/C up a notch in the summer or the heat up a notch in the winter and serve you complimentary pretzels and peanuts (extra salt added) and their typical 4 oz. serving of the beverage of your choice (this time, not iced) but the glasses will be smaller so you'll think you're getting more. The movie they'll show will be "Lawrence of Arabia" or possibly "The English Patient" or maybe even "Viva Las Vegas" (you get my drift, it'll be set in a dry, desert area). About a half hour after that, the happy flight attendants will stroll down the aisle with a cart full of chilled, frosty beverages and you'll happily pay the $5.00 to $10.00 charge for a cool one and thank them very much.

Bottom line, this additional income will save the airlines and we'll all pay for it! And all of this, because of the scam initiated by the Brits and their "intelligence" agencies yesterday, making us think that there are actual some Middle Eastern Islamic Fascists that want us to die. But I wasn't born yesterday, and I'm not falling for it.
