A friend of mine has this original solution to the threat of airline terrorism.
All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will
not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have
hidden on or in your body.
The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth. This would
be a win-win for everyone.
There would be none of this crap about racial profiling and the device
would eliminate long and expensive trials. 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…”
