New Security Measures

Analysts are comparing the attempted terrorist attack last week to the earlier attempt by Richard Reid. Reid hid explosives in his shoes. Now airline passengers are required to remove their shoes for inspection before getting on to an airplane.

The most recent terrorist hid explosives in a condom sewed into his underwear.

The obvious new security measure could have some very positive side benefits, as passengers will naturally act to improve their health and grooming. Just as passengers have adjusted to the shoe inspection by making sure they wear nice, clean socks or have their feet properly groomed before traveling, there will be an increase in excercise, improved diets and grooming.

There will be a boom in the already thriving thong industry, as the security measures will force open a whole new market segment among airline travelers.

It is a good thing the Corzine administration did not ban the bikini wax.
