   Not necessary. They can do that by other means. Also people are switching   
   around all the time, so clearly it was a b.s. response. B.s. responses   
   must always be punished to stop them from happening.

   For the record, I hate flying and consider myself being in hell from the   
   moment I step into the airport. It is very difficult for me to imagine a   
   more denigrating, inhuman and undignified way to travel than modern travel   
   by plane.   
      
   If I had my own private jet, and my own airport, I might reconsider. Until   
   then, I do my best to never move from the city I am in. Sadly my wife and   
   father make life very difficult for me sometimes, so that is when I do   
   move for their sake. But otherwise, I would happily live the rest of my   
   days next to my beloved fishing lake. =)
