Re: Who Says Flying Isn't Stressful???
It is actually.
Many people have psychotic events on planes or when they are landing/at immigration. It's a stressful situation, which can trigger psychosis in predisposed people. Some people suspect that the jet lag/time difference has an effect on the dopamine etc receptors in the brain, inducing such situations.
I truly believe that it's nothing to be ashamed about or afraid of. Unfortunately, most people don't feel this way.

high voltage discharge into the systems electronics (okay its a small chance but it could happen). Now I'm only experienced in this sort of phenomena upto about 20kV and it can kill electronic systems dead
. I'll have to go see if I can find the Boeing standards and see what they test too
Think I'm with Roland's OH on this one
