of flying, which is a difficult but important fear
to overcome. A close inspection of the board
ing and seat-selection procedure of an airport
will aid anyone facing “aerophobia.”
A realization must be made that overcom
ing fear is not a simple flip of the switch, but
rather a progressive effort. When confronting a
fear of something large, like John Madden,
start with the approach and then tackle the
smaller portion of the fear — in this case, a
canned ham.
The preflight ritual is somewhat intimidat
ing, given the masses of people frequenting an
airport with the prevailing “hustle-bustle” at
titude. Some may find it hard to acclimate to
an airport’s hectic “here-delayed, bombed-
tomorrow” rush scheduling. To ensure a
leisurely and comfortably paced air
port experience, it is recommend
ed that one make plans to ar
rive at the airport very early
— doing so will prevent
having to rush about while
juggling luggage, only to
miss the plane.
Unfortunately, airlines
were invented by Bernardo
Inconvenientello, who spent
the first 30 years of his adult life
working as an officer in a university-
campus parking lot. Inconvenientello
was a master at making the most elemen-
sitting behind me. Thank you.”
Another frightening aspect of the airport is
security. Given the history of terrorism aboard
airplanes — suicide bombers, militant hijack
ers and Rocky IV as the in-flight movie — secu
rity measures have been upgraded and ad
vanced to guarantee safe travel.
The standard walk-through metal detector
can be intimidating. One way to dispel welling
fears is to picture the detector as the starting
line at a drag race.
Once one has passed through the detector,
the race has begun! It is also helpful to imag
ine the members of the security as participants
in the race and

tary tasks difficult, whether it be flying on a jet
from Detroit to Miami or simply trying to park
a car in a student lot.
Inconvenientello never completely grasped
the English language, and to this day, terms
used anywhere else in the world hold a totally
different meaning at the airport.
For instance, if someone were to say “I’m
arriving early,” while they are indicating their
arrival will be before the designated and ex
pected time. If this same person says “I’m ar
riving early” at the airport, however, they are
in fact saying “I’m already 30 minutes late; I
would like for my bags to be sent halfway
across the globe; I want the kosher meal, the
middle seat and an eight year old with the flu

An important part of defeating the fear se
curity instigates is being able to tiiscern be
tween who is and who is not a member of air
port security. If approached by an individual
demanding an opportunity to inspect your wal
let, it is safe to assume security is simply scru
tinizing passenger possessions.
The security equipment used is telltale as to
whether the individual is genuine or bogus.
