Brazilian airline takes off in Second Life

Queuing in SL? 

Hmm,

Does this mean I can have my Avatar do all my queuing and

hanging about in Airports for me? I wish.

Setting the framework for a virtual 9/11... 

...and then a virtual TSA that would be slower than dial-up?

JP

England as an entire destination? 

Is there an airport for "England"? I mean, You can fly TO Paris, Milan or New York, but to just have a destination called "England"?

Security 

Do you get to be treated like $hite by jumped up virtual security guards as well?

Are virtual liquids and virtual nail clippers allowed on board?

And when do you think we'll get the first air accident wiping out hundred of saddos?

I really don't think they have thought this through!

Let the smarmy virtual terrorism begin! 

So who wants to start a pool on when the first avatar named "Osama Bomb-Laden" or "Luggage Bin Laden" queues up for his free flight? Or when the first saddo on a flight who goes into virtual convulsions because he was supposedly exposed to virtual peanut residue when he has a vitual allergy to said goobers?

The possibilities for saddo intransigence cloaked as cleverness are endless.....
