By entering a reward program you perpetuate this craziness, and add to the climate of fear. It is in this perpetuation of a climate of fear that helps the terrorists.Comment

Originally posted by Purple Dalek View PostAirlines didn't like people gaming the rewards programmes, and so had been trying for many years to bring in rules to ensure that their customers show a photo ID card before travel. This was resisted by their customers for many years until 9/11 when the airlines saw their chance, and jumped on it, to invent rules requiring photo ID. The airports also joined in, banning liquids, so you'd have to spend more money once you passed through 'security' on a drink whilst you wait, or that present for the mrs, etc.

No I don't. BA has premium check in & security at Heathrow. I don't need to queue with the oiks.
And if you think security lines are long then you must have stopped flying in 2002."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Originally posted by Purple Dalek View PostYes, the 'I'm all right jack' position. How wonderfully selfish, yet you still suffer for your selfishness by enduring pointless queues and poor service. Just consider how much better the whole air-travel experience would be without the nonsense. How much better the lounges could be if they didn't waste all the money on 'security' just to prevent you booking your air-miles on a mates card.
Secondly matching your boarding card to your passport is required for "not being bloody stupid" reasons...B00med!Comment
