23 August 2006Okay, who's got the wand?Jeff Jarvis said this in the wake of 9/11:
So you can sneak a bomb in your shoe. The only solution is to fly naked. You can't bring anything on board; it all has to be shipped separately on cargo jet.
(The old Buzz Machine archives the ones on Blogger don't seem to be working; I copied this from a piece of my own.)
Now you might say to me, Jeff, don't be ridiculous. At least we can fly in our underwear. But no. If enough C4 to take down a jet could be shoved into a shoe, imagine what could fit into a padded bra. I can see the headline now: Man Arrested at Logan With Explosive Codpiece. Ouch.
No comment from Jarvis yet on this. [Not safe for work.] Update, 1 pm: Comment from Jarvis. Posted at 8:40 AM to Birthday Suitable |
