“suicide bombers are now storing explosives inside their bodies in order to avoid detection.”
As awful as it sounds, maybe our default screening devices should be those x-ray booths/machines at airports. It’s extreme, but may be necessary. When I notice one at the airport check-in, I choose that line. With an artificial hip that alerts the metal detectors 100% of the time, doing the x-ray is more convenient. It takes about one minute. The alternative is to be pulled out of line, have them call for a female TSA rep who might show up in five minutes, then the Neanderthal gropes and frisks while my bags are sitting unattended at the end of the conveyor belt. It’s taken as long as 15 minutes at LAX.
I believe the x-ray thingie picks up everything. Anyhow, IMHO...
Twitter @rachelsklar How’d you settle on ‘Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’? I’m seeing “Abdul Mudallad” and “Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab”. CONFUSING.
