"temperatures may reach -40 degrees in the cargo hold."

Wrong!

From Air Canada: "Conditioned air is directed from the cabin, so the air tends to be a little cooler by the time it reaches the...

With no need to target the mass market you get a lot of freedom to innovate. Personally I should opt for a flip/slide-form factor, robustness, and compactness.

The next will be that we have to undress. We will then be shrink wrapped and loaded as such. Our luggage will go with a separate plane.

FSA should be inspired by the Israelis and do the security checks as interviews. When they ask "Why are you going to America", I wouldn't be able to answer.

Plane - not level

In London airports they take it a bit further. They encourage/force us to split the bin-train, and separate the passengers from their items. "Company policy" they say - officially.

Just another opportunity to flash my Leica.

Difficult to disquinguish between jokes and "alternative facts" these days.

"Full frame (real full frame) had been around for years by 2006"

Sure, I had a quick look and feel at the Canon 5D when it arrived in 2005, and wondered why a full frame dSLR had to be so bulky -...

Same here

Nevertheless - It brought manual control and full frame (almost) back to digital photography - and to me. Moved on to the M9 and sold my M8 five years ago; but still wonder if I should have kept it...

To be honest, I missed the joke - in the first instance. But I still consider those ignorant videos, deliberate or not, a threat to civilization.

This kind of ignorance makes me so depressed.
