I found the passport--it has another year to go before it expires. Now I need to find out how early to get there--someone told me about not being allowed on a plane for an international flight even though they were an hour early. The airline required passengers to be there two hours early. Good thing this flight is late morning--I won't have to get up before I've even gone to bed in order to get there and sit around for hours before I sit around on the plane. I don't particularly like flying (except for the good view out of the windows sometimes) for all of the time I'm stuck sitting.

Hrothgar, I agree. Think about it--just about anything can become a weapon if someone is determined to take a hard object and swing it around or break it off to create jagged edges. Pretty soon they're realize that those tray tables can be broken out, and maybe the air phones can be cracked to make sharp plastic shards. Or break off an armrest and it will double nicely for the jawbone of an ass. . .
