In the way of airport security procedures, I didn’t seen anything original going round till Parapundit came up with this:
Let people who are getting on an airplane search each other and their carry-ons … The people who get on the airplane are the ones who are putting their lives at risk. I’m guessing they’ll pick out a guy like Richard Reid, the Jamaican shoe bomber or Nigerian Muslim Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. When your own is at stake you won’t put much truck in politically correct mythology about human nature.
Hmm. Depends what kind of searching we’d be allowed to do. On a full strip-search basis — or even, come to think of it, just a thorough pat-down — I’m guessing Alessandra Ambrosio would be getting a lot of attention, Mike Tyson not so much.
