I just saw something on slashdot that says they're going to demand
passenger lists for US flights 72 hours in advance of departure. IOW, no
last minute flights any more. The airlines are promising to fight it,
but they haven't been particularly successful so far, have they?
So how do you think business travelers, who often have to go at a
minute's notice, will like that?
