Are you absolutely sure that a terrorist won't be able to sew it into the lining of, let's say, a bra, and escape detection? Oh, that's right, you've never seen one work.
In the meantime, do you have an explanation for your management's brilliant decision to require people to remain in their seats for the last 60 minutes of an international flight? Turning off the route map and prohibiting in-flight announcements about location? Yes, I know the decisions have allegedly been rescinded, but what stupendous mental acuity led to those stupid original decisions?
