It's difficult to overstate the value to Apple and its shareholders for its executive management to be mobile and untethered by commercial airline schedules.

FlightAware is an entirely Mac shop (on the desktop, at least). We do all our development on Macs. Such a sad and untimely loss for technology and for the world.
It's almost impossible to overstate the imprint Steve left on the world.
Wow, that's fascinating. It's easy to imagine a commercial airport in a competitive market or a dominant airline in a hub city motivated to displace the TSA in a bid to attract passengers.
