HERE IS A SIMPLE AIRPORT SCREENING SOLUTION

[Sent to me by Audrey, one of my former students and a good friend for many years.]

It’s so simple, the US will never adopt this airport screening solution.

This solution will end all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports. Have a bomb-proof containment booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.

It would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this crap about racial profiling or invasion of privacy and this method would eliminate a long and expensive trial. Justice would be certain and swift. Case closed!

This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now...You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the public address system: "Attention standby passengers we now have a seat available on flight number....."

The only drawback I can think of is a slight delay for those waiting in line while security personnel clean up the mess left in the containment booth.
