The solution to this underwear bomber thing?

[Stinky The Clown]

Ban underwear.

Gawd, we can be so obtuse sometimes.

1. And invent overwear instead. A new industry! nt

2. Yeah, Everyone will have to go into booths and take off all their clothes

Pass them through the scanner and get dressed on the other side.

3. Doesn't go far enough -- bomb-making stuff was also hidden in the other clothers.

We must ban clothing while flying. True, energy costs will go up for keeping planes warmer during flights (especially since we'll ban the use of blankets), but no price is too steep for safety. ;-)

And of course, with no clothes on, there will be fewer problems with the inability to go to the lavatory in the last hour of a flight.

4. C-5 stowed in ones rectum. yech.

5. make everyone wear their underwear on the outside.

6. No, you need explosive sniffing dogs and clothing gas chromatograph swipes (like they do to luggage)

Just add another annoyance to air travel and the threat will be severely diminished,,,
