Comment Re:Why stop at shipping? (Score 1) 431

Every time I fly, I envision a 'freight class' where a passenger is neatly tucked into a rigid container(a coffin comes to mind) that has a self-contained oxygen system and is monitored for failure. These containers are then stacked and secured in the plane and delivered to the final destination. You can cram more people into a plane, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency (in theory) of the entire system. For the flyer, I imagine a lounge where you are drugged and slipped into the container, and then gently come to in a lounge at your destination. I am sure this sounds too impersonal for many, but I would sign up for it in a heartbeat...no foul odors, no pushing and shoving, no crying babies, etc. Add this system and you could extend the travel efficiency beyond just the airports.
