Forwarded to me by my wife, who works with airport security technicians:
http://www.informationweek.com/news/secu......08803214 First they got us to remove our shoes. Then they got us to dump out all our water. After that, they developed x-ray machines that literally see through our clothes. Of course, this next step in the progression is obvious, once they discovered what personal indignities we'll endure just to travel by plane. At what point would you just take a train instead?

It would be a drag if the pilot pushed your button by mistake...
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

It would be worse if he pushed it deliberately simply because he didn't like your face or thought you had looked at him funny!
Magic! The quicker picker-upper!

Leave them all on shock, until everyone proves their innocence.

Maybe we should just put the shock collars/bracelets on the terrorists.

I could carry a bazooka onto my private jet and the pilot would ask me if he could help me with my luggage.
POOF!

I know why I will never travel to the USA again...
"Anticipating questions about passenger willingness to don a shock bracelet, Hahne was quick to defend the idea. "When people say they're not going to wear one, they need to be made aware that the bracelets are totally inert until the flight is airborne and the flight crew determines an attack is underway," he said." lol. |
