A Great Idea

A possible and easy solution to the controversy over full-body scanners at airports. The idea is so simple that it is really quite brilliant.

It would be a win-win situation for everyone, and it would eliminate racial profiling. The method would also eliminate a long and expensive trial. Justice would be really fair and swift. Case closed!

The idea/solution? Have a booth before entering the airport terminal where each person and luggage must go into which will not x-ray a person, but will detonate any explosive device one might have on her/his body and/or luggage. Also, the only "carry-on" in clear plastic bag allowed inside the passenger cabin would be medication(s), toothbrush/small tube of toothpaste, comb, personal documents [license, credit card, passport/boarding pass, money] reading material [book/newspaper], laptop/DVD player; everything else must be checked-in luggage.

Imagine . . . in the airport terminal a muffled explosion is heard. Shortly thereafter, an announcement comes over the PA system; "Attention all standby passengers! A seat is now available on airline name and flight number."

Isn't that really cool?
