In a perfect world...

That would be the most secure solution and would give everyone the options they require.

I'm sure you know, it takes slightly longer than walking through, but, I didn't see the big deal about going through it. Had I not been completely hung over and not realized I hadn't gotten a quarter out, it would have been faster, but, it's not a major deal. You don't see your "naked" self, the viewer of the image doesn't see the real image of the "naked" person, so it's not that big of deal.

Wouldn't matter to me, I guess. Would just slow down with having a second security check. Seems redundant.

Exactly, it looks like it would just add another half hour of waiting in line.

How about walking a bomb sniffing dog up and down the aisle while I'm waiting for the TSA agents to make a 90 year old lady in a wheelchair take off her shoes and remove her underwire bra.

I'll start writing messages in black marker on my moneymaker for the security staff.

All airline passengers will remove all clothing, be issued snuggies and a sock with a cue ball inside to be used in case of terrorist intervention. Official air marshall will be fully clothed and armed.Unruly passengers will be served a complimentary roofie. Allah Akabar indeed.

Yes, by all means, replace the ridiculous, time-wasting foolishness we're having to deal with now. However, you're barking up the wrong tree if you think the average air traveler worries about a bomb on the plane.

teedubya · 12-29-2009, 08:03 PM

if its my time to go, it's my time to go... I never worry about some Jihad towelhead trying to bomb my plane. In fact, the more people worry about it, the more likely it is to occur.

I don't waste time on negative what-ifs... this type of mentality has this country in a downward spiral as it is.

I could see myself choosing that airline for an international flight.

A few months back I got through security at KCI using my wife's boarding pass. Then the person at the gate allowed me on the plane using my boarding pass (which hadn't been initialed by the security screener).

That was pretty alarming... so I'm pretty much in favor of any additional screening.

Although I got my karma a few weeks ago when I tried to carry a self-inflating air mattress onto a plane. They didn't appreciate the battery pack wired to a motor.

I'd fire all those knuckleheads at TSA and put one armed specialist on every flight.

and, I'd start teaching the public how to assist your specialist in case of flight emergency.
