Poor guy. :cry:
I just read that in the paper today. I don't know if that sucks more, or the 8-year-old boy that set off the metal detector. For some reason he had to be shirtless in the middle of everyone while they did their enhanced pat down. The paper also had a quote from a 3-year-old girl, "Stop touching me!"

Fucked up.

Any one read any articles (I haven't been keeping up with this thread) about the security at Israelis airports versus the USA?

Another thing I read in the paper today: A company started selling underwear that will shield your junk from the scanners.

Wearing that would just get the agents to pat you down. :(

A great idea, but it would cause more suspicion than is necessary.

What about underwear that will shield you from the "enhanced" pat-down (which of course will likely get you into a different room for an actual - instead of virtual - strip-search).
