So you're saying that we must X-ray everything in which people can hide such items?
Almost anything that can be concealed with a belt (or in the sole of a shoe) can be concealed in armpits, crotches, pockets, mouths, and
rectums (just last month, a man who was headed for prison
smuggled a cigarette lighter, rolling papers, a bag of tobacco the size of a golf ball, a smaller bag of marijuana, a 1-inch smoking pipe, a bottle of tattoo ink and eight tattoo needles in his rectum).
Your policies won't stop a determined criminal. Why do you continue to impose them on the rest of us? You're not stopping people from causing harm on airplanes; people simply aren't trying to do so.
