Reason 1: It will scare passengers away by showing the lack of confidence if their plane. EDIT: IN their plane*

Reason 2: Parachutes are for the staff only. Who would want the passengers to walk away alive after having been through such horrid experience.

Reason 1: Blind people might recover after a successful surgery and might not be able to learn the alphabets so soon.

Reason 2: Because in our liberal sue-happy society, if you don't put braille on a drive up ATM, then some blind guy is going to get the idea that his rights have been violated.

Reason 3: Drive-up ATM buttons are marked with braille because federal regulations require it. To be specific, section 4.34.4 of the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (Appendix to Part 1191, 36 CFR Chapter XI, issued pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) says, "Instructions and all information for use [of an automated teller machine] shall be made accessible to and independently usable by persons with vision impairments." Drive-up ATMs, unlike the walk-up variety, don't need to be wheelchair accessible, but the rules make no exception regarding accessibility by the blind.

Who am I kidding. I don't know if I'm right or not. You be the judge.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

To second Aardark, make sure he doesn't read the thing from any paper. Have some hand motion and he should seem natural enough. I'm sure you could use the public speaking stuff you learn in college.

First line of Aardark's sig really fits in well here ='D

There's nowhere I can't reach.
