Fly the Naked Skies
What next? Full-body searches? pat-downs at the airport are getting a little out of (ahem) hand lately, it appears. If anyone believes this is keeping the country safe, then I'd have to question what they're keeping in their brassieres. Take off your shoes, please; stand over by the pole, please, and gyrate your hips. Yes, I know it's supposed to be about nonmetallic explosives smuggled in under your clothes, but why 70-year-old women with walking frames are getting felt up is beyond me. No judgment, and no restraint, either. If it happens to you, complain. A lot. Hey, go ahead and miss your flight, too. If enough people fight on this stuff, the economic cost will force real change, real security, not fetishistic rent-a-cops and unscreened luggage.
