A TSA Free Airline - PlaneRed
PlaneRed is an all-you-can-eat flight subscription launching around September 1st 2011 that will fly just below the TSA’s radar – using 9-person planes to dodge under their screening of any plane carrying over 10 passengers. The subscriptions will work as such – passengers will pay around $150 a month for access to a booking system much like a city bus, able to book on popular routes on the east coast, serving Atlantic City, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C.. They hope to expand quickly to… (blogs.forbes.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
P.S. Not suggesting this concept is an electronic device; a comparative example.
Love the concept. It's my nature to be skeptical about anything new... Hope it succeeds. But, just like any new electronic device, the kinks get worked out over time, and those who patiently wait see the bigger picture over time.
No negativity; just conservative in nature.

Do you have one for sale?
Guys; stop the negativity. Just because the established companies in the industry fail doesn't mean there is no room for new ideas and concepts. People DO FLY! And in growing numbers. Why shouldn't this work? Because it's outside "the box"?

Another thing to consider: Are these new planes or older planes reconfigured? Who actually owns the planes, or are they subleased or contracted from a manufacturer to supply according to demand? What are the commitment terms for the $150 per month (annual or month by month obligation)?
I used to believe in the "lifetime warranty" until I learned the hard way that my lifetime outlasted theirs! Even insurance companies will drop you when you pay up front for their insurance protection but they go under.
Thanks, but I'll pass on this deal, form what I can gather so far.

Almost any idea is worth considering... But when you lose 50% of what you have, like your freedom, and you try to get it back, it takes a 100% increase to get back from where you started. That's where we are with terrorism. They won, but we keep trying. What choice do we have?
TSA still has control over security for these flights because they are still a commercial operation!
They simply fall under a different security program because they will be Part 135 charter instead of a Part 121 scheduled airline. You won't be screened by TSA screeners, but all your information still has to be checked against the "no-fly" list and TSA can still screw this up.
