I arrived in the small town of Salina in the state of Kansas last night. I made the two-stage flight from the UK accompanied by a pack of UK journalists (paid for by Virgin Atlantic, who naturally want the world's media in attendance for what they hope will be some great publicity). It was comforting to see that even Richard Branson had to be reminded to remove his shoes at a security check at New York's JFK airport, even though he owned the specially-chartered plane to Salina he was to fly on.
