A New Decade: We may have to show our crotches now at the airport

[zulchzulu]

OK.

You have to take your shoes off when you go to the airport because some knucklehead tried to blow up a plane with his shoes and screwed up. And yes, if you drag a thing of water in a plastic bottle and perhaps have some hotel shampoo in your possession, you can get wanded and maybe hogtied by some temp worker for possibly being a terrorist.

Now we have some guy who tried to blow himself up by putting a bomb in his crotch.

So this leads to whether we need to now unzip as well when we get in line to go to some wedding in Poughkeepsie we don't even want to go to?

Lieberman was talking about how we may need to go through full body scanners and the hell with the privacy nuts that think it might be a tad overblown.

So will this next decade bring even more brainless stoogery that will make this last out-of-breath schizoid decade look like a spring picnic?

See-through jogging outfits and slippers might be the way to go...

[tabatha]

1. or very tight tights as required leg wear

[Colobo]

2. Whatever it takes to be safe, man.

I'd walk into the plane naked if necessary. :sarcasm:

[MercutioATC]

3. I hope that was sarcasm.

[WeDidIt]

4. We'll all end up having to fly naked

but the shit will really suck after the "Bowel Bomber" strikes.

[timeforpeace]

5. Napolitano Rules™

[valerief]

6. Men will never allow strangers to check out their wee-wees. Never. Not in America.

Penis envy and all, you know.

[WeDidIt]

7. Besides, those TSA areas are FUCKING COLD!

and everybody knows what happens to a man's wee wee when it's fucking cold.

[valerief]

11. I was wrong. It's not penis envy. It's penis shame. nt

[robo50]

20. Republicans won't allow that, Dems and Liberals won't mind. LOL n/t

[cliffordu]

32. Speak for yourself....

:rofl:

[dave29]

8. some people's crotches are already set to explode

they could go off at any moment. Could make the no fly list a lot longer

:shrug:

[dave29]

9. HEALTHCARE OPPORTUNITY:

Lets get doctors in the airports doing routing physicals before we get on the plane.

please turn your head, cough, and place your bag on the conveyor belt. Thank you

[Bitwit1234]

10. I keep hearing about strip searches didn't they say

some time ago they had a machine that took pictures even thru your clothes and gave a pretty pretty good picture of your private parts. Why aren't they using that. Gee just think, that guy was willing to give up 72 virgins to put the bomb on his crotch and blow it up....I tell you that is dedication.

[HipChick]

16. It's being used at 16 airports in the US, and set to be the standard in EU by 2010

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. Shorts and slaps for me. And if someone reallllly wants to see my dick, I'll flop it out. n/t

[niceypoo]

13. Wear a codpiece

[Kablooie]

14. Really, we should all just bite the bullet and disallow clothes on airplanes.

How bad could it be?

[Born_A_Truman]

17. Pretty bad!

[Kablooie]

18. point taken.

[MurrayDelph]

15. and in related news

former Senator Larry Craig has requested permission to come out of retirement and head the TSA.

[zulchzulu]

19. All very good ideas... perhaps checking other's packages will take new meaning n/t

[Kaleva]

21. Just wait till we get the Anal Bomber. Cavity searches for everyone.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

22. Oh, I've been doing that for YEARS....

Oh sure, they've BEGGED me to stop. But you never can be too sure, you know what I'm saying?

[AzDar]

23. As I posted in another thread, all it's going to take is a female jihadi and

a Tampon Of Terror to have stirrups installed at the gate.

Also: Fuck Joe Lieberman

[girl_interrupted]

24. Might liven up the wait!

You have to get there so damn early before you board...at least it might make it interesting. Especially if they are Chippendale dancers..ok, I'm kidding.

[azmouse]

25. I haven't been inside a plane since '04

and with all this bullshit going on I may never fly again.

[Thickasabrick]

26. I'm done with flying unless it's someplace I can't drive or the occasional

quick trip to Vegas.

[BreweryYardRat]

27. If that becomes policy, I'll start taking Viagra before boarding.

Let the TSA goons choose between not searching me or getting horribly depressed/jealous.

[grantcart]

28. We will never get Cliffordu out of the airports now

[cliffordu]

31. The only reason I'd be interested is if we go to Alert Level

Scratch and Sniff.

[flamingdem]

29. Some people are into showing their crotches in pubic, I mean public nt

[MadMaddie]

30. Well then everyone should pay heed to what our mothers

always said, "Always wear clean and newer underwear just in case you get in an accident or something"! Kinda interesting how moms are always right.

[zulchzulu]

33. Finally! The Pubic Option! n/t
