Could be a sticky situation at 37000 ft.!! have they announced the carrier or flight number yet? Will be needing some sanitizer after the flight.

"In case you're wondering, the aircraft's crew will keep their clothes on."

So, no 'cockpit' jokes then...

But not if the FCC have anything to do with it!!

I wonder how much the crew have to pay, to be chosen for that shift?

...and that's why I love El Reg!

If God had meant us to go naked, we'd have been born naked. Er...

A stupid idea especilally considering how cramped many aircraft are. By the time the passengers got their kit off, a one hour flight would probably be over.

Nature never intended us to fly, naked or otherwise.

Well, bits of her, anyway.

One wonders what the pleasure is sitting in a plane while naked. I suppose the pre-flight safety announcements could be more interesting than normal: "In the event of a drop in cabin pressure, you may find your nether regions are shrinking. A small woolly pouch will drop from above." etc etc...

As for hiding explosives and so on, a number of cocaine smugglers would confirm that there are numerous body cavities and organs that stuff can be hidden in. However, and I can confirm this from personal experience, Selfridges didn't hide its cosmetics when Spencer Tunick did his nude installation on the ground floor in 2003. I suppose they thought no-one would want to use lipstick purloined in this way...

I'm certain there's an IT angle somewhere here...

Anonymous for obvious reasons...

As a citizen of the U.S. of A. I object to your bootnote. To think that we would find terrorism more of a threat than the incidental exposure of naughty bits is beyond belief!

Seeing the human body in its natural form is the greatest of all terrorist acts. Have you see how big some of my fellow citizens are? That's just inhumane.

Baltic Sea Island of Usedom?!? I suspect a con here somewhere....

Hot coffee, turbulence, I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

So there won't just be skid-marks on the runway? Sorry...

Quote from above:

"In the event of a drop in cabin pressure, you may find your nether regions are shrinking...."

Not so! In fact, the reverse will be true. That's why such things as certain feature-enhancing pumps are sold in erotic stores all over the world.

So a better announcement would be: "In case of a pressure drop you will find that certain oppurtunities offer themselves to you - or should I say "arise"?. Use them quickly and we will guarantee you a happy landing."

If people actually pay for that, the economic problems in that region of our glorious country are no longer a mystery. At least the plane will drop near the border to Poland, where you might actually *ahem* get something in return for your 500 bucks. If you just had not already wasted them on being trapped in a plane with 50 naked strangers old enough to miss being naked behind the iron curtain... it will take more than 500 bucks for therapy to get rid of that experience.

So do they reserve a seat by putting down their towels?

...mine's the birthday suit at the back.

"I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!"

It had to be said. Actually came back and now steal sbds human-skin coat.

There is no way you would want an aisle seat when a 60 y.o contender for the biggest loser says "No need to get up I'll just squeeze past"

Of course if it is a 25 y.o female aerobics instructor .......

The simplest reason for sun lovers camps in the east was you could wear no wire taps hidden under your clothes and carry around an invisible note book either !

Puts a new meaning to word come fly with me , that is for sure !

in the men's section at least...

/coat

I wonder what the "in-flight entertainment" will be :-)
