The terms and conditions of the air carrier where I just booked a flight states:
The taxes and charges the air carrier currently has to pay to governments, authorities, airports and others, are:
- Overflight charges
- Passenger taxes
- Navigation levy
- Landing fees
- Environmental charges
- Security charges
- Extra war premium after September 11, 2001
What’s that last point supposed to be again? “war premium”? Excuse me? I do neither approve of nor support any war!

Well I think it is just a flat-charge just in case you want to start a war with the planes of that air carrier. 😉 Pay it and you may have the right to tell the pilot where to drop the planes toilette content.
I see. So how about a form to declare that I won’t start yet another “shitty” war and don’t have to pay then?
Well, it certainly sucks, but humor seems to be one of the only viable responses possible. 😐

You mean a form thats look like this:
[] Will start a war.
Target Country: ………..
Reason (optional): ………….
[] Won’t start a war
[] Undecided
By the way, I just ask Leo for “schurken staat”:

Take a look at the 10th entry. 😯 I pray, G.W.Bush does not use Leo. 😮
