Ladies and Gentlemen, in light of yesterday's news, it's time to embrace new ideas for airline safety. I think it's only a matter of time before the TSA promotes a new campaign for flying in the nude. Before you scoff at the idea, let's consider the many advantages:

1. No more worrying about finding comfy clothes to wear for a long flight.

2. Shorter lines at security. No more waiting behind people remvoing their shoes, belts, or emptying their pockets. And if they eliminate carry-ons of all kinds, I see no need for security at all.

3. People watching at the airport terminal. You'll never again get bored while waiting for your flight.

Posters on other threads have suggested we could fly wearing underwear, but this really doesn't solve the problem. Men could hide things in their shorts, and to the untrained eye it might appear they are very gifted. Ladies should be strictly forbidden to wear bras, as they could contain booby traps.

I'm sure there are other advantages to nude flying, so if I've overlooked any, please help me out. The time has come to cast aside our prudish modesty and accept these changes for the sake of airline safety worldwide. We've already been stripped of our carry-ons, drinks, and lotions, why not just strip us all the way?

Well done, PM! Love your beginning, I could hear the pilot beginning his spiel! ;-)

I hope Moosey find this thread. Maybe it'll be somewhere she can play.

LOL, leave it to you, LOL -- love it!

I suggest we invest in colorful Fodor pasties...

What about those people with ostomy bags . . . can they have their own row? Would that be profiling? And will babies be allowed to wear diapers?

LOL . . . away with prudish modesty!

And hurray for P_M!

You guys are killin' me...of course this is going to bring a whole new set of travel issues into the mix...can we have disposable seat covers on the planes ? should hot liquids be banned for fear of spillage ? can we turn the over heads into sleeping lofts ?

LOL, P_M!

I'm picturing the news coverage when there are long delays for the holidays or security threats - imagine what that visual would look like!

P_M, there's gotta be some heavy duty disposable seat covers, huh?!

What about the sweaters - people who sweat profusely?? And let's not forget those who always have racing stripes. Without undies, what will be the end result there?!

Wow P M, someone beat you to it!! If this is even real!? I couldnt bring myself to "Enter" the site! Hahah!

I feel bad for the female with the nice figure next to that old creepy bum - literally!! LoL

OMG! Water just went up my nose, LOL. Naturegirl, now that trip would be a trip to remember!

Youre right SpeedBuggy-I should have included a "click at your own risk" warning!!

8-X

My thoughts exactly, Speedbuggy. He looks like he's leaning closer in her direction too.

Thanks for the giggles, NatureGirl.

We were musing aboutthat today at work. However, segregation of the sexes might be necessary. And what would be done to the transgendered and transsexual?

I want to sit next to MelissaHI

=D>

If this starts, I'm booking all the seats in my row!!!

My work security does allow access to pasties, but wouldn't let me open Nature's website.

For nude flights, I'll need a double supply of the barf bags. With or without commercials.
