New Airline Rules???

This week the TSA announced a new requirement to give DOB, gender, name etc... for security reasons of which I have no argument in fact, they could ask me for anything and I wouldn't mind however I have a question. Watching an old movie "The High And The Mighty" 1954, they asked place of birth, destination, purpose of travel, occupation, etc... was that an old requirement and when did it end??? Simply watching that old movie made me think that if TSA took that type of personal approach now another 9/11 could be avoided and the personal approach could remedy many issues we now have in our modern society. In fact a TV commercial for a credit card with cartoon figures upon it and people remarking it doesn't look professional made me think that nobody ever checks my signature, name, id or anything nowdays, they simply swipe and go, never mentioning anything. As I was too young to travel back then I don't know if it was howthey acted back in 1954, if so, I think we should revisit that era!!!

Think of all the extra charges as a good thing. They mean a lower ticket price

Wrong....

The unbundling theory is fine.... if the base price is lowered, The fact is that the airfare that cost you $500.00 last week incloding bags, costs you $500.00 this week plus §15.00 and up for checked bags, pillows etc...

I could see the advantage if these extra charges were subtracted from the base fare,but the fact is they are not.
