When every living being in the airplane is asleep, there is no threat of hijacking, no screaming babies, and no need to pay stewardesses, so ticket prices will go down. The airline can then free up even more space currently wasted on bathrooms and the cockpit. The plane can be flown remotely, like a drone.
Or maybe that's what the human race used to look like every day. Throughout most of history, there was never any reason (or time) to smile. Smiling wasn't invented until sometime in the 1920s.
At the Oklahoma City airport: A huge sign announcing that all cars entering the parking lot must have their trunks searched by the TSA; a long traffic jam, as a result of all of the cars being stopped. When it was my turn, the TSA guy told me to pop the trunk. He looked inside, saw that it contained a couple of suitcases, and then let me drive on. I asked him if they've caught any bad guys. "No", he said. The boneheads at the TSA never considered that: 1) Bad guys with bombs in their cars will probably drive directly to the terminal loading zone and not bother going to the parking lot; 2) Bad guys might hide their bombs inside of a suitcase; 3) Bad guys might put their bombs elsewhere in the car, besides in the trunk, since only trunks are searched; 4) Even if a really stupid bad guy had a ticking bomb just sitting in his trunk and then decided to drive to the parking lot, the huge sign announcing trunk-searches might persuade him to change his plan or go back home. As a result, not one bad guy is ever caught, but lots and lots of good guys are delayed and miss their flights. Thanks, TSA!

That's 12. Was the final kid listed as "none of the above"?
