'Bra-llelujah!' Can flying be fun again?

The relevant quip:

...in a post 9/11 world, Corlett said. "Lots of business opportunities come out of tragedy. It's the capitalist way of life. I think a market for airport-friendly merchandise is a good thing."

About a hundred years ago, Lenin had a different take on this same phenomena: "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

Some quick-thinking merchants are taking someone else's moment of misery and turning it into a business opportunity by creating a niche market for "security-friendly" clothing.
