A simple solution to eliminating terrorism on planes.

This is quite possibly the worst idea I've ever heard. So what happens if you buy a ticket and there no one on the plane who knows you and can approve you? I travel by myself most of the time and I'm not a celebrity.

You would need to plan your travel ahead of time with friends and colleagues who will be on the plane with you.

Traveling by yourself would not be an option unless you are very rich and can afford to buy all the tickets on the plane.

The cost is that you eliminate most of the airline industry. (Some people might see that as an ancillary benefit, of course.)

Edit: Or other passengers will charge to vouch for you. Zero security benefit.
