The problem with fighting terrorists is that you are always one step behind. These guys have really shown themselves to be rather imaginative.And our responses don't always make sense.
After 9-11, we had The Shoe Bomber, who tried to blow up his shoes with matches.So what did we do? To make sure nothing like this happens again, we started checking everybody's shoes (makes sense), and banning cigarette lighters. But, we were allowed to bring matches aboard the plane.
No sense to me.
The latest, we have The Panty Bomber. And our response: nobody can leave their seats, go to the head, or read a book... for one hour. Huh?
And to make sure nobody is wearing loaded panties, all baggage will be super-extreme double checked. Twice.
Wouldn't it just make more sense to have all passengers fly commando? Maybe they can wear a Department of Homeland Security approved pull-up, (to be issued after security frisking, of course).

Next step - dynamite suppositories. Just imagine...
that was done already. cant remember the particulars, but it was an assassination of somebody.
Yes, it has been tried. They didn't account for how much explosive force the human body can absorb. It's actually quite a lot...
After several years of making air travel as comfortable as an atomic wedgie this is TSAs chance to actually administer the real thing.
Oh, and dynamite suppositories? Great idea. Let the liberals blow their brains out.
