Personally, I don't care if airports are run by Martians, as long as security remains in American hands, that's all I really care about. P.s. American airports are nothing to write home about. -- Niraj Agarwalla -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David MR Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 11:49 AM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: BAA I hate paying tolls to use public roads. I especially hate paying tolls to non-American entities. (I also think it's a sin to have to pay the government for the "privilege" of parking on public streets.) Let's face it.

There is no reason for them to be managed by foreign companies.=20 David R -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: RWM <RWM@xxxxxxxxxx> > But you don't mind paying tolls to furriners, right? >=20 > - RWM >=20 >=20 >=20 > David MR wrote: >=20 > > UAE, Spain, UK, Andorra, The Vatican, I don't give a damn.
