Reply #40: A genital pat down, may or may not have

[GiordanoBruno]

detected the "Underpants Bomber". But it surely would not have detected a bomb in a body cavity.

Again, no matter how many times you are strip searched or allow your genitals to be fondled, you aren't safe.

If you are really serious about safety you would demand everyone fly naked after a full body-cavity search and have luggage and cargo carried on a separate flight. Airplanes would have to be flawlessly piloted by computer programs that were completely immune to hacking.

Even then, I can conceive of implanted explosives in false teeth, nasal passages, chest cavities, big bellies, etc.
