Captain Nowhere Arrested

This is a tip that most of us follow without much effort on a daily
basis. Being arrested never holds much of an allure but, is even
worse if it happens on airport property or during a flight. Since
9/11 airports and aircraft are not a place to misbehave. Security is
taken seriously and any threat or perceived threat is treated
pretty closely to an act terrorism. If you are arrested you can go on
special security lists and be banned from flying. Air travel can be
extremely stressful but, losing your temper, getting drunk or
disorderly, and making inappropriate jokes or comments can carry
serious consequences. Avoid getting into a screaming match with
an airline representative because you probably won't win. At the
very least you will probably earn a little chat with an airport
police officer. Don't threaten anyone or get aggressively physical
with people or inanimate objects because it will be over very
quickly. Even on flight you never know who is on board, a federal
air marshal, off duty police officers, or even Joe Q. Citizen has
stepped in to subdue fellow passengers when things get out of
hand. Keep your cool and act responsibly, try to enjoy the
experience. When speed bumps arise take them with a grain of
salt, the consequences are not worth it.

Travel Safe, Travel Smart . . . Get Somewhere!
