The Real War On Terror
"Comfort Capsules" for our traveling overlords, barking TSA for the rest of us.
US Air Force 'wants luxury rooms in planes' for top officials
"The US Air Force sought money from counter-terrorism funds to install luxurious rooms on military aircraft for travelling top brass and officials, the Washington Post reported Friday.
Several senior generals weighed in on design details of the "comfort capsules," which include leather chairs, a 37-inch (94 centimetre) flat screen monitor, a bed, table, couch and full-length mirror, the Post wrote, citing budget documents and government e-mails. (...)
Air Force documents call for the rooms to be "aesthetically pleasing and furnished to reflect the rank of the senior leaders using the capsule," the paper reported.
Production has started for the first capsule to be fit into the fuselage of a large military aircraft.
Air Force officers say the new capsules would allow senior officers and officials to work and rest comfortably while in the air.
