Lippy Cow lip balm sounds interesting. Maybe United could offer little kits on sale to its Economy passengers. They get knackered too and could use a little milk of human kindness.

The TSA had been on the upswing until a lack of leadership brought it back down. Let's hope the new guy thinks big and acts bigger.
