Lastly, for reasons I already mentioned, it is unlikely to make you safer.



This mentality, when allowed to run rampant, will never stop. 20 years down the road when some $10 an hour lackey is putting his finger up your butt looking for explosives, I want to hear you all say "...well, if it keeps me safe..."

You invent a security measure, the ones that want to take advantage of it will just find a new hole to exploit. That's the nature of the beast and stupid crap like this is addressing symptoms instead of the underlying problem.
