To unmap C-s and C-q, which is useful so that bash can do a forward
history search with C-s, simply place these two lines in your
.bash_profile:

stty start ''
stty stop  ''

(That is two single quote marks on each line, not a double quote.)

In addition to the resource that Scott pointed out, I have a page on
setting up your .bash_profile and .bashrc to increase your shell
productivity:
