security clearance for international flights? Do you think that one day all passangers, in addition to having a passport, will be required to have documentation providing a security clerance issued by the government allowing them to purchase tickets for international flights? How about domestic flights? Would you be for or against such policy. Approved clerance would require a complete background check with personal referance checks much like some states and local entities require for concealed/carry gun permits. I know is sounds insane but think about it for a moment.......once you jump through the hoops to get the documented clearence all your trips would be a breeze and you could feel safe and confident that all your fellow passangers want to reach their desttination as safely as you. No more sitting there looking at some guy wondering if he is a terrorist.

How do you get the best seat assignments on international flights? I called Lufthansa and they stated the best seats are first come first serve, and that the earliest I can check in is at the airport at 10am the morning of the flight. The flight is scheduled for 1:55pm. Is this really the best way to get the best seats? ALSO, I've got an international United flight, and they haven't assigned us any seats and won't tell me when they will release seat assignments, but just to call back "whenever I'd like". HELP! My wife and I are both 6'2" and my wife's legs are very long, so getting a seat with the most legroom is what we consider "the best". Thanks very much. I know about seatguru.com -- What I don't know is how LH's system works for seat assignments. I've called their customer service line, but they indicated they can't pass out better seats until the day of the flight. I wanted to see if there were any other ways to secure a seat before the day of the flight. I fly frequently, but not internationally, and never on LH. Thanks again.

Is it okay to use a Kobo eReader on international flights? I have a Kobo reader. The OFFsetting still leaves something on the screen. I understand that this is just the way it works.
