True, jetpacks aren't the answer, if there were just something else. A machine that could take off vertically, travel large distances through the air and then land practically anywhere. Something that could carry many passengers, be reliable and commercially available since the '50s. If only the government owned thousands of them and made a few available to the president and VP at anytime they needed them, imagine the angst that could be prevented by not inconveniencing the regular folk......
