Early on in the current Era of Paranoia someone suggested that all passengers be anethestized and shipped that way. A little sleepy gas, they load you on the plane, you awaken in the terminal at the other end with your baggage right next to you.

The airlines would love it -- no complaining passengers, no screaming babies, and passengers could be stacked efficiently instead of the current inefficient "seats."

Considering how boring most flights are, it strikes me as a good idea.
