Why not just make flyers strip and issue hospital gowns and booties?
They can pick up their clothes at the arrival point.
What's the big deal?
They can modify the hospital gowns so your ass isn't in the wind.
Maybe go to a trousers and shirt kind.
Let everybody carry 20 bucks aboard to buy stuff from the plane gedunk
in case they just have to have a Snickers or a Coca-Cola.
Crew can organize prayer sessions (multi-denomination), group
sing-alongs and charade games to keep folks busy while in the air.
Those who want to can just watch a movie.
What's the problem here? *Why aren't they doing this?
No more long security waits at the airport, and you can reduce costs
by eliminating most of the TSA personnel.
Be more fun flying too. *An adventure every time.
Looks doable to me. *I must add though, that I don't fly.
What say you fliers?

Or, TSA could pay attention to the no fly list and not let the jerk on board
in the first place. They may be too busy checking to make sure your 3 oz.
shampoo bottle is properly secured in it's 1 qt. anti- terrorist ziplock bag
to be bothered with a heads up from the Brits.
TSA is a poor substitute for security. It's been crap since it was set up
and not likely to get better.
I know the libs will squeal at this but mayube a little racial profiling is
in order? Like, check out people with obviously Muslim names a little more
closely than pasty white "Bubba Joe Smith" *from Texarkana (apologies if
Bubba Joe actually resides on this group).


Yet more government think will surely be employed and in response to
failure, the broken system will be made even larger and more
incompetent.

We have been telling you this system treats us like criminals with
little to no benefit in the end. A million people on a watch list and
even having a place on the watch list allowed this fool to bring a
bomb on the plane when I can't bring toothpaste.

Laws and rules don't stop criminals. In addition to the ample
demonstration here and previously, there is also the matter that the
Constitution didn't stop the criminals in DC from violating our rights
with the TSA.

We are herded into a choice soft target in security lines and then our
rights and privacy are raped by officers of a government agency.

I hope people are learning from these foiled plots (foiled by other
passengers) that the government cannot and will not protect us - we
need to protect ourselves.
