I think that you're kinda over exagerating, i mean there aren't many extra fees, just maybe for food domestically, the drinks a free, the runway is only like 10 min, actually not even, the TSA rarely do what you said about "Feeling", the water bottles make sense if you think about it, and, would you rather die? Flying is the best way to travel, it's relaxing for me, and without those regulations, thousands of people would die, it would be like the earthquake in China forever. And if Flying is so bad, what do you suggest to do when trying to get to far places, i travel out of the country every year across the pacific, i leave on the atlantic, i don't feel like driving to the west coast which could take up to two weeks, then taking a boat which could take 2 months, when flying is only 2 days, actually not even.
