What you don't want to read about when waiting to get on an airplane

I always wondered why they never sold parachutes at gift shops in airports. That could be a very good business, however I don't think Airport management would let that one fly, no pun intended.

Thanks Miyagi, this is my 10th flight in the past 5 weeks - Now I really feel good about this one.

Wouldn't be a good idea. Terrorists could hijack the plane, put it in autopilot to destroy whatever, and then bail out. The only witnesses would be dead, and the same guys would be able to make a run in the future.
