Oh ffs more ways for systems to fuck up and be abused. As Ive suddenly become one of these people that do need to use alot of planes in my line of work Im not impressed by this. I dont mind having to take my belt of and shoes cause its easy to put back on. A pat down doenst bother me either cause Im used to it at clubs. I do however have something against naked photos being taken of me everytime I have to get on a f**king plane.

And I bet even with this system in place you will still be told to turn up 2 hours before depature so as to buy their crap!

Don't get yer logic there mate.


They don't only frisk folk that are going to be strip searched, it's to stop that.  Strip search is usually the more polite name for a rummage about the event horizon.

The way I was reading it, it looked like they were saying that not everyone would need to go through it. scratchhead

I must have been getting that from them saying people wouldn't have to undress, since I'd hardly count sticking anything metal into your coat and firing that through the x-ray machine, as undressing. smile

Btw..if those pics are anything to go by, you'll still have to take your shoes off anyway. tongue2
