The companies advertising will supply the bins, tables and other non-electronic consumables....which means that the TSA (taxpayers) can budget less money for these items. Advertising doesn't bother me that much. If I don't need/want something, I don't buy it. I'm sure any money saved by the TSA will probably end up being spent on something completely wasteful...but at least someone was thinking outside the box on this one. Patrick said on 01/12/07 @ 05:05 AM: Actually, the terrorists won a long time ago. Isn't that the goal of terrorism; to promote fear? (and some political/religious agenda thrown in there somewhere) What is the "Terror Alert System", but a "measure" of our fear. monkeyinabox said on 01/12/07 @ 08:35 AM: I think advertisers should be able to hit the planes themselves. You know, like Nascar racing. Connie said on 01/13/07 @ 10:43 AM: I once saw an ad inside a public toilet. Sad. Post a comment |
