| dec 29 2009 | | Home Land Screwup. | Well there we have it. Just like the aftermath of Katrina where billions were given to corporations but the people got nothing we have another example of government cock-up. On Christmas day a man got on a plane and tried to blow his leg up. After spending billions of dollars on expensive electronic screening equipment, causing huge amounts of inconvenience, making long line ups and delays, employing thousands of minimum wage cretins to irritate you, making you take your shoes off, throw away your bottles water and cosmetics, have ignorant immigration gestapo interrogate you and basically make the prospect of flying a nightmare for all but the most foolhardy, they failed.
Yes folks the system in place does not make flying safer, it is there to keep you terrified and grateful for whatever foolishness your government gives you.
Well here is my idea. It is cheap, foolproof and sweeps aside government interference. Airlines should require that all passengers fly naked. This eliminates the need for expensive electronic machines, you can sack all those useless employees, in fact the less people around the better people will like it. Out of consideration the flight crew should join in. In operation you would remove all your clothes as you go through security, to be renamed Dept of Nudity. These would be returned to you at you point of destination.
Some restriction would need to be put in place. No more pat downs. No hot drinks to served on flights. Moving around the plane requires you wait for a gap so you don't have to squeeze past other passengers. The safety briefing would include a caution to warm the clasp of your seat-belt before fastening. Bending at the waist to pick up any dropped object to be avoided. A pair of Crocs would be available for use in the toilet so you don't have to paddle in pee.
Or you just avoid American carriers.
