A great alternative to body scanners at airports
Email | Unknown

Posted on 11/17/2010 8:21:42 PM PST by Ooh-Ah

The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.

It's a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of the whining about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials. Justice would be swift. Case closed! You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system:

"Attention standby passengers — we now have a seat available on flight number ____. Shalom."

If someone can pick a pocket then someone can put a pocket. Maybe yours.

LOL! Got this in an e-mail from my s-i-l a couple of months ago. I LOVE this idea! No one would be harmed except the person who was planning to do harm to others. ;o)

But think of all the people that would be put of work!

Have pity on all the judges, lawyers, and court administrative personnel that wouldn't have enough work to keep busy. How about all the liberal college professors and talking heads on the MSM? To say nothing of the police, prison guards and TSA personnel.

Hmmmm.

Now that I think about it a bit longer, when will I see one of these at an airport near me?

Heck it wouldn’t even have to be a real working model. Just make everyone think it works, put some bacon drippings in the interior paint and you couldn’t make the guilty camel jock go near the thing.

Sure would be a good way to assasinate someone you didn’t like. Who would question it?

What is truly amazing is that many people will read this and believe it.
