I once suggested that everybody be required to be nude, everywhere, school, work, the supermarket, on the trains, buses and airlines. Would speed up security searches. My brother threated to strip at an airport checkpoint once. Here's why... I was fortunate enough to hear a lecture by Oliver North a few years ago at my university. He told a story about clearing security at a North Carolina airport, just after the shoe bomber incident. The screener didn't recognize him, and made him take off his shoes. Annoyed, he said (and I'm fuzzy after this part of the story), "What would you do if I/someone had a bomb in my underwear?" Long story short, he ended up with his pants around his knees, being wanded when he moved and the screener hit the panic button. He said that he looked over this shoulder and saw six North Carolina state troopers heading up the stairs. The lead one saw what was going on and about died laughing when he saw Oliver North there with his pants down, being searched. Damnit, I wish I could remember the entire story. I told the story to my brother, who decided in the true spirit of the Marine Corps, he would strip next time he got hassled by the TSA...I mean, if you're nude, you can't hide anything, right? Unfortunately, I happened to be with him and nearly died of embarrassment. Of course, this is the same man who swears he can carry on his sword, so he's obviously got no problem being arrested at the airport. |
