petdave -> Air travel- what will YOU do after the butt plug bomber? (1/8/2008 6:16:06 PM)

(Warning: This is a U.S.-centric question; i have no idea what sort of idiocy y'all furriners have to put up with)
So, if you've had the misfortune to travel by plane in the U.S. in the past couple of years, you've most likely felt the after-effects of the Shoe Bomber. Apparently, some idiot tried to smuggle exploding shoes aboard a plane, and even though he was caught, everyone now has to drag their sweaty, bacteria-infested stocking feet along the carpet while their shoes are scanned by X-ray. Certainly you feel safer.
Then came the toiletry bomber, and now there's some sort of bizarro-world rule about ounces and plastic bags and all this other drug-culture stuff, and i just say fuck it and buy toiletries when i get where i'm going.
But it brings to mind a question.
It's only a matter of time before someone, well-versed in the impressive capacity of the human rectum, smuggles a shoe- or toiletry-grade explosive aboard a plane tucked up their pooper.
After that happens, of course, all travellers will have to submit to a body-cavity search.
Will that finally be the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, or can you imagine it actually getting worse from there?
And perhaps more importantly, will first-class passengers get the inspectors with smaller hands? [&:]
