    @EL PRESIDENTE
    The article says jet packs are being sold in LA?
    I would think this would be eight up your alley. You don't have one yet?
    I sooo want one!

    I take a window seat for the thrill.
    Besides flying doesn't bother me like the Grand Canyon or a step ladder with over two steps.

    I'm sayin, like 2000 feet and it stops working. You have no safety device, then you are dead.

    The British Royal Navy and Marines have been testing jet packs for boarding ships.

    The web site to the jet pack.
    Gravity.co

    No idea who or why on the LA jet pack flights. My guess is a drug muggler.
