First Class, All the Way?

The Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle has now disappeared for a second time.
I see that the military has just tested a hypersonic airplane. This vehicle goes so fast that you could fly from New York to Los Angeles in twelve minutes, thereby witnessing three distinct forms of pointless excess in record time.


Wouldn't it be ironic, if your trip from La Guardia to LAX took one-twelfth as long as your trip through the security line at the airport?


And the really good news is, you don't have to worry about losing your luggage, as the entire aircraft will conveniently disappear.
