  Any idea what airline this is?
  
  There look to be too many seats to be first class on the plane in the photo.
  The planes I fly on you feel like a sardine in a can. I am 5'7" I flew British Airways Orlando to London and my knees were against the back of the seat in front of me. My return flight same airline I had an 3 inches between my knee and the seat in front of me. How do you tall guys sit in those seats?

  I stopped flying after TSA was created. I have flown one round trip since (about 2015), and by the way I carried

  TSA does a great service for the safety of travelers.
  How many terrorist have they caught now?

  better question: how many terrorist have successfully killed people on a flight or taken over a plane and crashed it (in the US) since 911 ?
  
  answer = none

  I'm just saying I could have easily killed a couple. Either do your job right, or don't have the TSA at all.

  TSA screening is a joke - set up to pacify the public into flying again after 911
  
  the things you don't see, and don't know about are why there have been no successful terrorist attacks in the US airs since 911
