Flying - Patooty

Jon just returned from a business trip to the States. He flies enough and with the conglomeration of airlines he can get a frequent flyer status which affords him some privileges. The most significant one and the one we are most grateful for is the two bags of seventy pounds he is allowed to check in. What is amazing about this is that when we arrived less than four years ago that was the standard baggage allotment for all airline passengers. Right after we arrived it was reduced to two bags of no more than fifty pounds. Now it is one bag of fifty pounds. From the increasing levels of undress needed to go through security to the decreasing amount of luggage we are allowed to carry. I figure before long we will all be required to fly naked without any luggage at all. I think the airlines are run by closet nudists.
