I'll have to make sure to put on my velcro break-away pants before my next business trip!

a good example of misdirection working to
a bad guys advantage. give'm something
and innocuous to find ... so they'll miss
the handgun in your belt/crotch.
the faa's own red-teams successfully
penetrated security 99.11% with guns
[pistols and machine guns]. the sample
size was 450 tests.
when using a component bomb, their success
rate was 100%. the sample size was 18
tests.
it ain't about security - it *is* a frigg'n
JOBS PROGRAM for society's underachievers.

Hey, someone had to say it!
More seriously though, I hope your brother was wearing underwear.
Personally, I would have refused. I would definitely make a formal complaint.

A little suggestion when posting. You do not have hit the enter key at the end of each ()visible) line. This super duper program will automatically do a word wrap for you so that you do not get
funny stuff
like this
going on
with your
posts. Sound like a good idea? By the way, I agree with your comments. Silly. Dumb... etc (feds)

Of course, no one has run with the "long fuse" one, so there is still hope!...

Has anyone ever heard of the fact that intelligence field operatives are taught how to sneak weapons past security screening checks and how to deal with metal detectors and wands???? Well, a few smart, educated people know how to do this... after all, we trained some people to do this and do it well. Sadly, we educated some people in Central America and in Central Asia on how to do exactly this (and more) only to eventually be haunted by our own techniques and training. [Oh, by the way, the CIA and Pakistani intelligence (ISI), had some great "courses" and taught exactly this.]

If so many people have been trained how to smuggle weapons past the detectors, then why does it almost never happen? When's the last time someone pulled a gun out of his pants on a plane? This is just preposterous.

The appropriate response to "Look me in the eye and unzip your pants" would be: "I'm sorry, I'd really enjoy a ####### right now, but I'm in a hurry to catch my flight. Maybe next time..."
