How many ounces of gold can a Boeing Business Jet hold?

Airlines belong to a cartel, and the goal of every cartel is to cut production and raise prices. So what if the TSA is actually doing what it is really intended to do?

A bonus for the oligarchs is that it makes it harder to expatriate some or all of your wealth. Others have already posited that a primary goal of the porno-scanners is to prevent expatriation of gold. Add that to the 1099 rules in Obamacare, and what we essentially have are backdoor exchange controls to prevent or retard escape from the dollar.

For ordinary folks of course. The oligarchs labor under no such restrictions. They are already setting up their next external profit opportunity.
