    It's a good question. I'm going to look into who authorised this process. Seems industry , military and Congress would have to be involved...and I wonder if it was done after WW11, Korea and Vietnam....or is this a recent development.

        Traveling? You must be more at home, by now, as a ward of the airlines than on any of your native islands.

        That's somewhat true I suppose, but really did just land in Hong Kong from Philly 1 hour ago!

        And when you left your tray table up, your seat in the fully-upright position, and made your way to the nearest cabin exit to say goodbye, was somebody chopping onions?

        Well, it was not that emotional.
