Funny- Solution to privacy invasion for airport screenings
Solution to privacy invasion for airport screenings
Here's the solution to the controversy over full-body scanners at airports:
Have a booth that will not x-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on or in your body. It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be no worries about racial profiling. This method would also eliminate a long and expensive trial.
Justice would be quick and swift.
This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now. 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 4665 ....
Paging maintenance. Shop Vac needed in booth number 4."Russ

I support the body screens. This would be brilliant but for the fact that children would then be the best option for trying to smuggle a bomb on board. Alas, back to the drawing board.

I love it...either that or hand out guns to everyone boarding the plane. Turn 'em back in when the journey is over.

Food for thought - more for the women I guess...these x-ray scanners can see if you're wearing a feminine hygiene product yet can not differentiate a tampon from a stick of dynamite.
