[Culturechat] Airport checkin in the future?

[Vance Roy]

Travelers leaving Europe for a USA destination all have to remove their 
shoes at the security gates. The clip that I saw on CH TV did not 
say/show if one gets the shoes back. Of course this all comes about 
because of the village idiot who tried to blow his feet off on the 
flight from Paris to Miami. This brought a few things to my mind. Some 
of you may not think I have much of a mind, but you are entitled to have 
your opinion.

Let say this clown didn't use his shoes as a vehicle for the explosives. 
What/where else could he have used? Would that mean that boarding 
passengers would have to discard other items for inspection? Submit to 
searches of things other than feet?

Boy! I am glad that he didn't have a bomb in his pants. Can you imagine 
all of us having to drop trou to get on a plane? Then again, it might 
create an atmosphere of congeniality on the flight over. What about 
toupees, and other items of a more personal nature as places of 
sequestration? If all had to shed these, again it might make us meet new 
friends. Just wait until some woman has C4 implanted as in a breast 
augmentation. THAT will cause some real trouble, but I'll bet the line 
for security inspector jobs will be a long one.

Easy Gestapo, just a bit of foolishness. Relax Kraut.
