I flew to Fresno for thanksgiving and had the pleasure of passing through airport security. I checked my bags so I didn’t have to worry about the whole exploding liquid thing. It did get me thinking though.

First off we have the would be london plane bombers. There are a number of sites on the internet that show that using liquids to cause an explosion is quite difficult. It kind of looks like that the would be london plane bombers based their plan on Die Hard: With A Vengance.

Assuming this is the case then the TSA based their security restrictions on a fictional explosive that can cause a reaction using a tiny amount of two liquids on a paper clip. Does it not make sense that if this is the case that the TSA should ban all liquids on a plane as they are obviously dangerous. But is this enough. I say NO. And I shall tell you why.

Let’s start with shoes. If you recall the movie Waynes World 2 and the story of Del Preston. He needed to get 1000 brown M&M’s for ozzy and the shop keeper wouldn’t help him. Del had to beat him to death with his own shoes. I think this is reason enough to ban shoes on airplanes.

Belts need to be banned as they are a choking hazard. In fact lets include all clothes as any item, I repeat ANY ITEM, can be used as some form of garrotte.

At this stage Every one on the plane is naked. However if you can’t get access to the cockpit this can never come to pass. But even the cockpit isn’t invunerable. Actually I can’t think of a way into the cockpit. Which is probably a good thing.

But one can dream can’t they (of a plane of naked people, not some sort of terrorist attack).
