Liquids are banned on planes? Huh? This is complete and utter reactionary nonsense, and it's got to stop. There's a constant problem of trying to stay one step ahead of the terrorists (or, in many cases, one step behind), and it's not actually getting us anywhere, except more and more inconvenienced without any added safety. The path is clear. We must fly naked. Seriously. Well, not seriously. But... seriously. Think about it. First we ban small blades, which is meaningless as anything stiff can be fashioned into a knife (at least, if my myopic view of the US penal system that was formed through way too many years of prime-time TV is correct). Next, we start x-raying shoes to look for explosives, ever since that Mensa candidate tried lighting his shoes on fire. But, is it inconceivable that you could simply make a shoe that is entirely composed of some sort of explosive material? I don't doubt that it's possible, though I've no idea if one could get something like that past a sniffer. But, for argument's sake, let's say you can. Lighters are out, but matches are okay (just not more than 5 books). Come again? Liquids are currently on the no-fly list. So are electronic gadgets should you happen to be flying to or from the UK. But we can still hide things in our carry-ons that are innocuous-seeming, but potentially dangerous. So we ban carry-on baggage. Ah, but the nefarious evil-doer can smuggle something in his clothing. In fact, his entire fetching ensemble could be some sort of fashion bomb. Our path is clear. Tape your passport to your forehead, strip off all your clothes, and fly the friendly skies in all your natural glory. It's for the good of the country, people! Let's do it!
