Airport security - keep it simple

[Benny10]

Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.

 

It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this crap about racial profiling and this method would eliminate a long and expensive trial. Justice would be quick and swift. Case closed!

 

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..."

What about those of us that are innocent, we just happen to enjoy carrying live bombs as a motivational tool, perfectly innocent reason to have a live bomb

[bobdickgus]

Problem for people that had explosives planted on them to test airport security without their knowledge.

The initial idea came from a mate who works for Fraport, while we had a couple of cold ones together.

With this system in place, I can hardly see any complaints from innocent people who carry explosives for motivational reasons (LOL LaaMok) or have them planted without their knowledge.

Sounds like a good idea whats the worst that can happen

[arbiez]

Not a problem unless you have heart problems and taking small doses of nitro.

I used to travel to the US a lot for work. Use to always enjoy watching the security lines for entertainment. There was always one guy in line that just had to try and get out of line, push in etc just because they didn't want to be told what to do. You knew straight away there little tantrum would be stopping them from flying but they still coundn't help themselves, they just had to have an arguement with the security guys.

 

Maybe they were all carrying.

Personally I always carry a bomb onto my flight. It's a security measure, you see. I mean, come on, what are the odds of TWO people having bombs on the same flight?

I have a interesting story about airport security lines. I don't know if it proves anything, but it offered a lot of people some entertainment at the time.

 

In 2004, when my mother was 86 years old, she felt her time was near and she wanted to visit the country where she had been born one more time. I arranged the trip and the flight left from Newark Airport. Back then, security lines for international flights were a nightmare, with waits of an hour or more. My mom was quite spry for her age, but standing in a line for such a long time would have been too much for her, so I arranged a wheelchair for her to go through security and to the plane.

 

She insisted she wanted to walk, but I convinced her it would be quicker and more comfortable if she used the wheelchair. The airline guy who pushed the chair was very good. He told me it was extremely crowded at the security checkpoint (four lines converged) and to stick close to him because it would be difficult to get through. I asked him if I could push the chair but he said that was against the rules. People who had been waiting a long time at first refused to move aside, even for an elderly lady in a wheelchair. One big guy finally let her by but blocked me. He said I could wait like everyone else. There was nothing I could do but try to talk to him and that wasn't working, so I got separated from her.

 

Suddenly, there was some sort of commotion at the checkpoint. I couldn't see much of what was happening, but it turned out my mom was refusing to take off her shoes or surrender her purse. She thought we were under arrest and started yelling, "Where's my son? What have you done with my son?"

 

A supervisor was summoned and he motioned me forward so I could calm her down. I still couldn't get past the solid wall of humanity and he had to sent out two of the TSA people to escort me through. My mom was saying she didn't want to fly if she had to remove her shoes or let them search her purse. The people close enough to notice what was happening were laughing themselves silly. Even the airline guy who'd pushed the wheelchair was smiling broadly. They even applauded when she told the supervisor in a loud and irritated voice, "I am NOT talking off my shoes!"

 

I persuaded her to cooperate and we cleared the security check quickly after that. I apologized to the supervisor for the trouble my mom had caused. He answered me that it was no problem and I should consider myself lucky because his mother never got out of bed anymore.

 

About a year later, my mom was still living on her own and still full of piss and vinegar. I spoke with her every morning and night on the phone and one evening she asked me about taking another trip back to her country of birth. I said it could be arranged and I would start making plans the next day. She asked me if she'd have to take off her shoes again at the airport. I said indeed she would, to which she replied, "I won't argue this time, but those people at the airport are stupid." Those were her last words to me. She passed away peacefully in her sleep that night.
