Desnudo

In light of recent airline security mishaps, the idea of flying naked has informally and sarcastically been proposed as the safest alternative to the all-body pat down and metal detectors in airports. Joke or not, this idea, along with the liquid rule, carry-on limitations and the color coded alert system, might be just one of the smartest TSA has in fact come up with. If given the opportunity, however, I might voice a few concerns about the idea to regulators.

Pros:
Terrorists would have a tougher time hiding stuff in the crotch of their pants since, naturally, they would not be wearing pants. Ipso facto, safer skies.
Security lines would go way faster.
No pat downs necessary. (We would have all kinds of other problems if pat downs were still conducted.)

Cons:
No pockets.
Perverts.
The odor. (sry)
The frigid airline cabins would surely make for exceedingly less comfortable environments sans garments.

Whatever shall we do? I can't decide whether this country is paranoid or justified with all of this talk. Weird to think I probably won't ever fly again as much as I did last year. That Dominican Republic flight in March will be the last doozey in a while.
