Zombies on a Plane

that was a video of world flight traffic over 24 hours. my first thought: hehe, this is what an attack by the zerg on earth would look like! and my second thought: omg... this explains why a zombie virus would be so terribly apocalyptic... i was always skeptic about the "worldwide infection". a zombie virus could not easily spread from one major landmass to another, because it would not be able to travel the sea. even the zombie survival guide didn't quite satisfy me with its explanation. but i can now definitely see how, with all the flights up at the same time at least a couple infected will manage to get across, and bring their terror with them. this gives me even more of an excuse to not feel stupid for having bludgeoning weapons near my bed. >:)

on a less apocalyptic note, this also explains why the us government freaked out about the "terrorist threat from the Sky's". i would have been scared too if i had known just how many flying suicide bombs where soaring above me. but i guess that is history, or at least it is no longer in our minds. but i am afraid the impacts on flight security may be permanent. gone are the times when a passenger was allowed to bring even a pair of nail clippers on board. now when preparing to board, i find myself afraid some guard is going to pull out rubber gloves. when it all started, shortly after that terrible day of September, i actually thought that the security and fear for safety on airlines would relax. boy was i wrong.seven years later, last summer, i took a trip to Germany. trying to board the plane, i was able to bring clothes, my laptop, a book, and very little else. at this point, people have stopped complaining, and just accepting it. unless something changes, this is just how it is going to be.
