gonna fly, wear a kilt

[Lady Christina de Pond]

The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.
It's a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of the whining about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials. Justice would be swift. Case closed!
You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system: "Attention standby passengers — we now have a seat available on flight number ____. Shalom."

this sounds so much better !!!!! than those scanners

...In over 30 years not one airplane has been hijacked, etc that took of from Ben Gurion airport in Jerusalem.

They profile...

I hear we also do not treat the Afgans in this manner as it would stir anti-American feeling.  Apparently Americans have no such need for the same respect.

OK, this is actually something I would consider. I was thinking about just stripping naked next time I approached the security checkpoint, but I don't want to get arrested and I'm not quite that brave. (But I would applaud OTHER people if they did it.)

I am SO tired of airport passenger screening -- not because I don't want flights to be secure, but because, beyond the basic screening, everything the TSA has implemented is reactionary, rather than active.

I also think it would be nice if, instead of seeing passengers as the problem, the TSA viewed us as their fellow Americans.

Of course, it would also be nice if our political system worked and the Tooth Fairy was real and cats could talk.

Another option, althought the 2nd generation versions are kind of expensive

"Oh, and cleanup on aisle three!"

I know that I shouldn't like this idea, but I really really do!

I don't like this idea. I love it!

I like this too. I'm terribly gullible so don't tease me, but is this real? If so I give it a big Huzzah.

Scientists -- as opposed to federal, non-scientific employees -- say the backscatter is dangerous.
http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-11-naked-scanners-airports-dangerous-scientists.html
It's a fact that Michael Chertoff is the lobbyist for the backscatter machines.
It's a fact that TSA has never once stopped a terrorist.
It's a fact that El Al has a superior record with a more determined enemy, and they don't use our pointless methods.
It's a fact that TSA can and does save pornographic images of passengers.
It's a fact that if anyone touched you in the manner TSA does, it would be first degree sexual battery.

i don't know how true it is or not but one of my friends sent me this in my email this morning

Well, I decided to quit flying several years ago after the TSA inspectors stole some items from my luggage: several packs of cigarettes (when I was still smoking) and some prescription pain medication.  Cigs were already $5-6 a pack (here, anyway) and narcotic pain meds go for several $$ each on the drug market.

I wish I was brave enough, and was endowed enough not to be embarrassed, and I would fly in a kilt, exposing myself in public to the inspectors and anyone near enough.  Enough is clearly enough. The crock-of-shine that is the TSA and the Patriot Act need to be gotten rid of immediately.

Well, I for one, will use a paper sack...lol!
We came home from California 2 years ago. Both bags were 'cut' so the TSA could look to see what may be hidden under the fabric. They left a nice  note, saying they were sorry. Now the thing is, they 'cut' the bags when we left NY, so why the hell didn't they check there again?
The kicker is, both bags were TSA approved! 

I heard on a radio show,  a discussion where people are so disappointed in the way the public is searched. They said, prisoners get that type of treatment not the general public. So I called in and told them about the kilt wearing and going full monty underneath! LMAO! They said to tell you all to, wash those 'giblets'!

Sooo, anyone got the brass to tuck a big pair of plastic "truck nutz" under their kilt? Line the inner edge with a mouse trap or three?
