If you live in China, Iran or Australia you;

Go to the bottom of the page and click on: "free speech mode is off."

Still, what a great emergency landing

Accommodation claims

Perhaps some of these people might get some free accommodation* at Betty's HMPS hotel.

* I'm sure the taxpayers won't mind in this case.

But...

"Passengers must not be selected on the basis of personal characteristics (i.e. on a basis that may constitute discrimination such as gender, age, race or ethnic origin)"

.... isn't that EXACTLY what the security guys SHOULD be doing?

They should be targeting, not randomly selecting.

Mind, it's probably what they'll do anyway.

In the 1960's

As kids, we would go to the Drive-In movies dressed in PJs then play on the swing-set/slides underneath the giant screen while the oldies watched Laurence of Arabia or something.....

Fun times.

Unfortunately...

Even if, like me, you have actively avoided the great online morass that is social networking, your personal data may still be discoverable.

I have relatives who insist on posting images and names on FailBook (etc), without permission.

"Let's have a family photo......for FaceBook"

Jobs Halo

Start a new 'religion'

"The Brotherhood of the Boozy Vulture..." [*]

* Tax benefits

* Snappy uniforms

* Bizarre food & sex laws

* No airport scanners

* More holidays

Starting your own religion is not a crazy idea, after all that's what happened with EVERY other religion.

[*] Feel free to suggest another name...

Web 2.0 the images

Outsource the airport security function to the hive-mind.

People across the world could log in, view the passenger images in real-time and decide "hot or not"

Hot being: wired, tooled up, ugly, stupid, ... aka a terrorist!

If the majority of users vote NO to the person travelling, the hapless traveler falls through a trap door and is shipped off to the re-education camp.

Link it to FailBook and Twatter and there you have it.

6x4s available on board

The airport could print & sell the images to passengers after they board.

A sort of holiday memento.

Like the photos they take as you board a cruise ship...

Stewardess 1: "Hmmm, this looks like 32A, or is it 45B?"

Stewardess 2: "No, that's more like 5C"

I have a suitcase full of 'holes' to throw all those bombs into if they're interested.
