I cannot believe that the airlines would willingly go along with this plan. Just what they need - something else to make people resistant to flying.

Let's see.... If I want to fly from my home in northwest Florida to my daughter's in Atlanta, Georgia....

1) Spend one hour driving from home to airport
2) Arrive at airport two hours before flight to accomodate baggage screening, credit check etc.
3) Board plane and fly for one hour to Atlanta
4) Spend one hour waiting for checked baggage to arrive

Total time for flight: Five hours

Time to drive from home to Atlanta: Four hours

I suspect that I have taken my last domestic airplane ride unless the need for a transcontinental or transoceanic trip should arise.
