Bring on the hyper loop trains, so we can avoid flying if we want too. I would think having more competition with super high speed trains will help with the people that want more leg room.

I haven't flown for 11 years, and being 6'3" probably doesn't give me a right to complain, but the flights spent with my knees in passengers' backs before they reclined their seats.... I tended to end up on the floor so I could unfold enough to drink my watered down coffee.

Research has shown that the TSA has the lowest morale of any government agency, largely because of the low rates of pay and the crap they consistently receive from disgruntled passengers. As to the leg room on flights, it's definitely getting smaller as airlines try to squeeze in more rows of seats (last time I flew, I slid a paperback of average thickness into the pouch on the back of the seat in front and found that it touched my knees - there was no room to move my legs). Passenger advocacy groups are now saying that enough's enough - seatingt is at the point that the lack of maneuverability is presenting a serious safety risk, as passengers can no longer exit their seats quickly in the event of an emergency.

And you are just now noticing this???

Might want to factor in alcohol, too.

I am so glad that I love driving
