Perhaps all bomb-like strap-on/clip-on devices should first be run by you, to test for believability. We can just have law enforcement keep suspected bombers under surveillance until you give them the go-ahead to make an arrest.
Or, we could simply let the police stop anyone who’s wearing such a suspicious device, until it can be determined exactly what it is that they’re dealing with.
I hope the jihadists are taking notes from this, and not from those who would have a believability index attached to all play-doh/circuit board devices that are being worn by oddballs in airports.
How should they react if they see someone trying to light their shoelace? Isn’t that just as ridiculous?
And yet, someone did try to use a shoe-bomb, as silly as that may sound.
How do those sneakers decorated with blinking LEDs do at the airport these days?
