How are you going to conduct the strip search of any pilot entering

Andreas, that really is silly.
BUT sinced you asked,
The ""HOOTER"" girls will be coming out and doing their best!!!!



Hi Tom,

that Hooter girls thing sounds good and is probably going to attract
many guys to the struggling US contest scene.

But in earnest:
Today nearly any appilication can be run on a small mobile device.
Banning certain types of applications is never going to work as long
as there is no way to enforce that such a device cannot be smuggled on
board.
I really wonder how the US is going to deal with this problem.


Cheers
Andreas
