Yea, as said earlier, fly freight or just keep the flight deck door closed. You can also just pretend you're deaf when walking through the terminal, it works really well when someone asks you where their gate is or something... I recommend discontinuing use of the deaf trick around hot ladies though... but that's a given anyway.

On any given airliner flight, how much non-luggage cargo is carried, and how much of a flight's revenue generally comes from cargo/mail?

Not sure, and frankly, I don't care... but I will add some insight. Carrying cargo/mail, whatever, widely depends on where you are flying to. International flights carry a lot more freight/mail than domestic runs do. Regional carriers, because of smaller jets, don't carry near as much of a cargo ratio as the major carriers do.

With regards to logging time, do LSA's count the same as any other GA airplane?

I believe it does, but check with a qualified LSA instructor or your local FSDO because I may be wrong. I haven't flown anything under 40,000 lbs in at least a year, so I'm way out of touch with that side of aviation.

Keep it real,

Will do home slice; I try to keep 'er as real as possible...
