Excellent idea... !
"Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports:
All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you,
but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body.
The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.

This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this crap about
racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.

This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now: you're in the airport
terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an
announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention standby passengers
we now have a seat available on flight number..."

I find it interesting and a bit ironic that the first people to refuse to go through the full body scanners were three Muslims, two women and one man. I have no problem exempting them from the scanners if they will submit to a full body strip search; not just the pat down like I get every time, but the full enchilada.

Roy,

I think your idea might get a little messy after the first couple of these morons try to sneak through the system. I must admit though, I find it humorous just thinking of the look that must have been on the underwear bomber's face when his explosive device only lit his crotch on fire. Since it was Christmas Eve, I think a nice round of "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" would have been appropriate.

Jim, I think you meant to write terrorist not Muslims,right? Lets don't do profiling religious with some anything terrorist her on this site, We are better than that to label people. I was born into a Muslim family, but I don't practice any religions what so ever, I don't condemn or condone them either, Every one has right to chose what they want to practice, that doesn't make them bad people or terrorist. I know you didn't mean labeling ,I get your message ,but please don't go mentioning religion sex or creed. I am not offended, but thought I mention that before the attack begins on this site. thanks for your understanding, lets just pray that god will help the ones who have vicious idea to kill innocents.
Regards,

I totally understand and respect the intentions of your post... It's just that the last line sounds like a request to God to help those who want to kill innocent people... I'm sure that's not the way you intended it to read.

think he meant for help in opening their minds to the wrongness that they are thinking. Not in helping their plans.

Where in the world you get off reading that sentence this way? I am really disappointed in your interpretation of it. Lets don't start attacking please.
I will not engage in this type of convers. period.

Mike thank you, evidently your reading is onmuch higher level thatn mine. that's what I exactly meant w/o any reference to race, gender,creed, nationality.........., the one who thinks to harm inosents does need help from the creator to realize the wrong doing.

I'll bet after a "couple" there would be a serious drop in attempts.

Landon, the problem was that they went too easy on these terrorists then to make the matters worse they were advertising what type of system they had in he Airports, like telling the rabbit that I set out the trap for you, but you can go around it. In my opinion, they have gone too easy on them that's why we have the problem the way it is. I agree if they had such thing that would blow up the guy who was carrying the bomb then there wouldn't be any more attempts. but, unfortunately, we are gonna have more victims until our security finally wakes up 7 do something about it. I tell you what we manged to build snow covered ski thingy in one of those Arabic country in middle of the desert heat, but we can't figure out how to keep our airports safe. that tells you something,huh?:rolleyes: then they act like they don't know about these kind of protections, too.
 
This concept is flawed.

What happens when they explode their bomb while waiting in line before they go into the scanner, thus killing anyone around them? What happens when they explode it at the ticket counter before the security area? What happens when they explode it outside in a crowded arrivals/departures area?

Good Qsn.?
I guess, the only thing you can do in this case is really pray God that they don't have that intentions in mind. If I knew the answer then I'd be working for National security.:cool::eek::tongue:
 
I went through one three years ago. at SFO you stand in the booth and air is blown into the chamber it took est. 2 minutes from stepping into and walking out.
