“Every air passenger is treated with suspicion since 9/11″
By facutvivas

How long do we need to endure the appearance for sake of appearance (but rarely thorough) security regimes employed during air travel?

Procedures, initiated by bureaucrats scribbling for the sake of scribbling, inflated by security contractors’ self interest and fuelled by government default, could be trimmed to passenger comfort by employing up-to-date equipment relatively eliminating the current manpower army.

Public inefficiency, business avarice and craven politicians, capitalism at work and damn the public.

Are such individuals allowed on Planes as well? security problem solved !!!!!!!!!!!!

(Reuters) - In the San Francisco Bay area where tolerance is king, it is a rare politician willing to clamp down on citizens who let it all hang out.

But San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener stepped into that position earlier this week when he introduced an ordinance that would require nudists to cover their seats in public places and wear clothes in restaurants.

I rather like the confusion caused by two brothers travelling for the first time to the
US of Aaaaaaaaaa,

Documents in order , pre security , baggage control, personal security check all
A Okkkkkkkk.
Boarding time, brother A proceeds, brother B is stopped because of security query from the
State Department. regarding a Tattoo in the shape of a Crescent was catalogued as a distinguishing mark, after a full body inspection(naked) nothing was found.
Brother A was pulled off the plane and subjected to the same treatment and the mark was found, now the best part on being interrogated why he had a tattoo of a crescent on his Arse the reply was it takes one to know one only an Arsehole would confuse a birthmark for a Tattoo.
The Brothers being identical twins had only this mark to tell them apart.
The moral of the story is that they were refused the right to board the plane on the grounds that they had deliberately tried to hide the mark and also using aggressive language to the security officer

Once we have the xray body scans in place there should be no problems other than making sure that the operators don’t keep pornographic pictures of all those amazing toned bodies passing under their gaze all day long. alternatively we could all simply travel naked and that would save a great deal of expense
