Great idea for airport security...
this from the Left Coast Sports Babe....

"One of my longest term friends in the travel industry, Suzanne Horning, forwarded this anti-terrorism idea to me. Author unknown.
A solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports. Have a booth passengers step into that doesn't X-ray anyone, but simply detonates any explosive devices.

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!

And an added benefit, for passengers in the airport terminal who hear a muffled explosion, there could be one more spot open on the standby list."

I like it!

1. And you could put confetti and streamers on the top of the box

so that they'd go 'poof!' and fly into the air whenever a device detonated. It would be like a theme park, of sorts. :+


Another good thing you could do to improve security would be to disband the TSA.

2. Just replace the TSA with Disney World security
You'd never see it and it would work much better.
