I'm just thinking of all of the fun you could have with this.

"So when you're done, do I need to tip?"

"sorry, I left all of my dollar bills at home."

"When you're done, do I get to touch you?"

moan while they frisk you.

If you had a child with you, you could perform a citizens arrest for child pornography, after the scan.


I see a new episode of Bruno coming...
Bruno II: Day at the airports.

They did just that Lockerbie Pan Am bombing.

Honestly I'm surprised they don't just stop and the end of the runway just outside the fence with a van and two guys with automatic weapons then just shoot at the jets as they take off.

Truthfully. Profiling and questioning would be more effective, both as a deterent and a point defense than this BS. Frankfurt - Main does it.

The Israelis are probably the best in the world with those techniques....it has worked pretty well for them.

I'd rather be profiled and questioned than groped.

This is like metal detectors in schools (another idiotic over reaction).

Someone is about to board a plane with a bomb. If the bomb is detected... they blow it up. If they are detected... they blow it up.

Oddly, they are encouraging carry on baggage instead of checked. Why not vastly limit carry-on bags, and scan those, and have huge restrictions (nothing bigger than a large purse or small laptop case) on what can be aboard.

Check everything else, and scan the crap out of it, AND run it past a sniffer.

That combined with locked cockpits eliminates almost all threats.

If I see Janet at Christmas I'll ask her about it, you can be sure.
