Fly Naked ! Skip The Full Body Scan !
Hey Silverhorners! Welcome to The View From Silverhorn Mountain....
Well the "view" might be getting a little better or worse depending on your um...modesty. We've been considering security around here these days and there has been some discussions about adding a full body scanner at the door, you know, the kind of Naked Body Scanners Coming To Airports to stem the influx of terrorists boarding airplanes following the latest fiasco when the Nigerian man tried to blow up a plane flying from Amsterdam to Detroit Christmas Day.
Turns out that particular terrorist had traded in his regular jockey's for a pair of explosive underpants! Ah-Ha! Explosive underpants....now there is a concept that bears thinking about....
So in order to keep the wearing of explosive undies in check, airport officials are adding full body scanners to the arsenal of tools for keeping terrorists off airplanes. It's starting in Vancouver, but the intention is to install the scanners in 44 airports in total. Apparently, you won't have to submit to the scan, you can choose a full body pat-down search instead, which can be much more intrusive, or fun, depending on your point of view and who is doing the pat-down....Officials are saying not everyone will qualify for a scan, only those of us, (and I say, "us") who look suspicious or are in some way picked for the extra scrutiny....look out you hot looking women, because if I am on security detail...well....you need a scan and a pat-down...
These scanners cost around $200,000 each, and will all be in place by March. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just ban the wearing of underwear on planes? Or clothes for that matter ? Fly Naked, no waiting, no security scans or pat-downs, no trouble at customs, just grab your ticket, doff your clothes and hop aboard! Fly first class and we give you a towel to sit on....
