Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at airports. All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.
This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this stuff 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...." The booth will have a self-clean feature.

Dave, somehow in the hustle and bustle of December, I missed this brilliant post. Actually, one of the young ladies of the church was telling me about it this past Sunday. This is a truly brilliant idea. As long as the technology didn't break down, this would be an extremely effective screening process. Unfortunately, I'm afraid you might get some objections that in adopting such a system, we would be failing to understand the bombers' rage. And furthermore, because of all the indignities visited upon the bombers by the United States, wouldn't we be interfering with their right to blow us up? We must show empathy, after all.
