How do you know it’s going to be safer?

Beautiful? I guess, if you like the massive bloated-maggot look.

Eight-hundred people trying to get off and claim their baggage, another 800 trying to get on? No thanks.

I have a simple solution: They all ride an escalator that takes them up, then drops them down a funnel-like chute which sends them tumbling into the airplaning.

Deplaning is accomplished via a large piston which squeezes the passengers out some star or crescent moon shaped opening. 😛

I have a better suggestion.

Run the passengers through a meat grinder. Then, fill the airplane with ground passenger like a sausage tube. Upon arrival, squeeze the paste into the terminal via a pumping device.
