Will we now have to take our pants off before boarding a plane?

Think back to the Shoebomber. After his attempt at blowing up a plane we were required to remove our shoes before boarding. Today we have a guy who burns the crotch of his pants up while attempting to bomb a plane. Will we now be required to remove our pants for inspection?

    They have a machine that can look inside of your clothes as if you didn't have any on..

    So we won't need to remove anything, they will just look

    Yes ... now, that could pan out to be a high probability. Here's why ...

    There could come the event in which the federal TSA may require that airlines hire epidemiologists, brought on by complaints from the public, for which it is then determined that use of x-ray equipment at screening stands in airports must be made prohibitive to deploy due to evidence of spikes of incidents rates of cancer. And so you see, your question is not as far-fetched as the epidemiologists' findings could well prove to be.

    Americans have become like so many chickens in a hen house -- frightened of the slightest disturbance of the peace, for which if but one wrong move or fit frightens just one hen, there is sure to follow at once a fit in the entire flock -- now all riddled and racked by Fear.

    Anything for my safety

    Mark, I rather be on the plane that was thoroughly checked and have peace of mind then the plane you would be in, that just let anyone and anything come aboard that doesn't sound to safe to me.

    Yes. He hid his explosives in a dark place. There will be a flashlight inspection for all air travelers from now on.

    I guess its better to build bomb proof airplanes and build bullet proof glass walls between passengers , so if some body exploded in his private place others will not be disturb.

    Yes and the girls are going to have to hike their skirts up!

    Sarcastic reply you think? Considering the state of fear the western world is in don't doubt it at all.

    You either drop your pants or hike your skirt up or turn around and get on the train or ship.

    That might be a lot of fun in the boarding room. And that would make it a real TRIP.
