No Clothes Allowed on Fights

Well, over the last few years we have seen a marked rise in security at airports, railway stations, roads, buses, boats, space crafts, submarines etc. It seems there are always this bunch of people who are plotting to blow them up. Lets check the stats for a minute here..

So how many people have died in Air crashes mechanically caused as against how many that have perished in terror strikes. The numbers are alarming. (The results are from planecrashinfo.com )

 Pilot Error 22%
 Pilot Error  (weather related) 11%
 Pilot Error (mechanical related) 4%
 Total Pilot Error 37%
 Other Human Error 4%
 Weather 7%
 Mechanical Failure 13%
 Sabotage 5%
 Other Cause 1%
 Undetermined or missing 33%

That means we have about 5% of the crashes happening due to sabotage or terrorism of sorts and to prevent that we are beefing up the security systems at the airports. To what ends one may ask.

A few years back we could carry all we want in the cabin and kiss our friends and family goodbye at the door. Flash forward to now, we are carrying plastic bags with passports in them and moms have to taste and prove the validity of the milk for newborns.

Scenario 1
Flash forward to year 2011, and by this time explosives can be concealed in textile matter as the brains in US and Israel would have developed such stuff by then and promptly some of them would have loaned to the technology to some third world dudes in the Middle east and leak it to the Terror Mongers.

Result of that will be, No Clothes Allowed on Fights Originating from and to London

Scenario 2
Liquified explosives are carried in the form of breast implants. Since that technology is heading ho hum and much faster than our security expertise. What can be done to stop it then.

Result of that may be, Bust sizes of over 36 not allowed to board a flight without a valid MRI Scan

Scenario 3
Hollywood surprisingly has been much ahead of most governments as well as terror mongers by predicting the future of bombing as illustrated in the mid 90’s movie, Live Wire. Drinking water engineered to work with stomach acids to produce lethal human bombs.

Result, Call Pierce Brosnan to rescue.

These are ridiculous things. Terrorists don’s have the funds to develop such stuff, the corporate do, and they do develop and sell. As ASCAP has been advertising for a long long time -

When the Buying stops, the Killing will too.

Similarly, big dudes in bigger offices should understand that -

When the Selling stops, the Killing will too

Its a simple equation, if you live on a tree, do not keep an Axe handy as it can and will be used against you.
