Idea to fight airline terrorism: Everyone must fly naked!
They could give people a type of modesty robe and slippers once they board.

This could be one solution!

3. I'd rather be tranquilized
Some good horse tranqs just before takeoff.

Nothing to worry about till you arrive.

Some of the people I've seen on my flights, I'd rather be blown up than see them naked...

4. Committed terrorists (are there any other kind?) will simply
hide sticks of plastic explosive in their, err, body cavities and ignite them mid flight by sticking their thumb up their butts.

18. Why stop there...go nakkid all the time.
Especially in the warm part of the US> Maybe most of the republicans who love to indulge in those extra martial sex affairs would congregate down south and we would be a lot better off.

21. hahaha, was thinking today - so I won't wear any underwear, but carry some ripe ones...
in a pocket so when they say they need to screen my underwear I can pull them out and drop them into their hands along with a request for them to gentley scrub with a 'green' Ph balanced laundry soap down into the seams so clean they could, ahem :blush: eat off my thong string then blow dry them, turning them gently at 62dgs before handing them back - that will teach them to try to give my little one ring circus the ole bum's rush, fuckers!

24. and what is the point of having people stay seated for the hour BEFORE the plane lands?
The planes that are FULL of jet fuel are more likely targets (like on 9/11) so I'm guessing this guy was either not very skilled or trying to work up his nerve or something.

Keeping people seated for the LAST hour of the flight (after serving them sodas, etc) is just going to lead people to discover a THIRD use for their seat cushions... cushion, floatation device, and somewhat absorbent urine sponge.

26. Way ahead of you
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7337055&mesg_id=7339952

Care to invest in my latest venture, Fly Naked Airlines?

At Fly Naked, we will provide free drinking water. Limited range of other beverages will be available at just 2% over actual cost. Seat cushions will be soft, absorbent, and most importantly: disposable.

In the unlikely event of a water landing, seat cushions will NOT serve as flotation devices, but with everyone naked, it should be easy to find those of us with higher fat content. We float, and could probably help our skinny travel buddies avoid drowning. This may have the added benefit of raising consciousness about the fact that fat people have merit too. It may help dis-spell the cultural mindset that skeletal is enviable that is perpetuated by mass marketing, and save many from self-loathing due to unrealistic expectations conflicting with the fact of nature and genetic body-types. And sales of Danish Waffles might go up too.

In-flight entertainment may include flight attendants doing magic tricks and making ill-behaved children, drunk, obnoxious dowagers, lechers, and those with gas disappear into a sound-proof container for the duration of the flight.* (*not available on all flights because every now and then we get lucky and have only sane, good-natured passengers who are not given to bouts of drunkenness or neglect of child-rearing responsibilities.)

Foreign languages will be appreciated rather than irrationally feared, but the first person who says "DUUUUDE!" can be voted off the plane and dropped into a pressure-lock chute installed for that purpose.

The doors to the flight deck will be sealed shut. There will be a camera on both pilot and copilot so passengers might notice if they are too busy playing computer games to notice they are coming up on their destination. Special microphones will be installed to enable flight attendants to holler at any flight deck personnel seeming to be asleep or otherwise not paying attention. Many passengers will find it entertaining to monitor flight deck action and report any sighting of video games or YouTube watching to the attendants, all of whom will have masters of psychology degrees (and tranquilizer darts in the event of hyper-vigilant passengers given to needless panic.)



HEELP! Won't somebody stop me before this becomes a friggen business plan?

28. Girls, throw a bloody pad at the bloody bastards!
I don't think the average woman would be in favor of this. We have to use little napkin thingies in our undies to catch the blood, you know.

Besides I would need eye bleach after seeing some of the fat people. Likewise, others would need eyebleach after seeing my flab.

31. Don't forget the diapers. Since they won't allow passengers
to get off the seat, they might as well give out diapers.
