Interesting note about loan transfers. I suspect we'll see more of the mentioned "scams". sfgate.com

We can add this to the "American Plate" of travel offerings for our overseas friends: online.wsj.com <snip>Bill Horoszko, a Hinckley, Ill., chemical marketer and frequent flier, observes that "tension levels have just gone through the roof" because of delays, cancellations and long security lines. But travelers share the blame, he says. "It's like [passengers] are entitled to be ignorant, rude and arrogant because they purchased a ticket," he says. "People are so full of themselves now it's ungodly." In July, a doctor who missed his Northwest flight in Seattle allegedly called 911 three times to say there was a bomb on board, hoping the plane would return so he could make the flight, according to a Federal Bureau of Investigation affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle. The plane did come back, but the doctor was arrested for allegedly making a false threat against an aircraft. Last month, a female United Airlines baggage employee at Dulles Airport called the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police after a passenger allegedly attempted to enter an employees-only area, pushed aside the woman's outstretched arm and refused to leave. Officers interviewed the traveler, U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, a California Democrat from Chula Vista, and before releasing him advised him that the United worker would be pursuing charges.
