No Plane, No Gain
[validity] all
New security laws for air travel have some citizens in a tail spin.
[option]"This is ridiculous," screeches @@RANDOMNAME@@, a frequent flier. "We can't take something as innocuous as a nail file on an air craft now? Not to mention my kids safety scissors, those things wouldn't cut butter, what's next on the ban list, funny hats? If you want to do something to stop nutcases hijacking planes, put armed guards on every flight if you want, but drop these stupid bans and stop treating all us passengers like criminals."
[effect]@@NAME@@'s airlines have become the favorite targets for disenchanted malcontents with an axe to grind
[option]"You'd change your tune darn quick if a plane you were on was hijacked by nail file wielding maniacs," snaps @@RANDOMNAME@@, an airline security advisor. "If anything our precautions don't go far enough. Anyone could be a terrorist in disguise, even me. We need to do background checks on every passenger, hand search every bit of baggage, and do random strip searches before boarding. Sure it will inconvenience passengers and cost a lot of @@CURRENCY@@s, but the safety of our planes and their crews must come first."
[effect]there are very long queues at every airline check-in counter
[option]"If God had meant us to fly, he'd have given us wings," preaches @@RANDOMNAME@@, an evangelist minister. "We must ban all forms of artificial flight immediately. These terrorists are the Almighty's punishment on us for invading his domain. The sky is sacred, and we should respect the fact that only those creatures God has given feathers to have a right to be up there with him. Our imitation metal monsters are an insult to the beauty of those chosen creatures."
[effect]all air craft, including the military, have been permanently grounded
Just had the idea for this run through my head, so typed it up before I forgot it. Don't think anything like it has been done before.
