Now let's, for a moment, assume the Obama administration really does think there are terrorists out there wanting to blow up a plane, or something. I recently received an email from a friend that warrants serious thought. It is the perfect non-evasive solution to the potential terrorist:
"All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will NOT X-ray you, but will detonate any explosives you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth (whoever is carrying the explosive was going to die on the plane anyway). This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be no more garbage about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.
This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now: you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number..."
Three cheers for creative thinking.
