Have you been one of those passengers that’s found that your airline has overbooked and there is no seat for you?
Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the
airports, and which may get you a seat on the aircraft.
All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not
X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or
in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.
This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this crap
about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive
trials.
This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now: you're in the
airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an
announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention, standby passengers! We
now have a seat available on flight number..."
Where’s Lord Sugar when you need him?

Israel have adopted a similar (but slightly less drastic) approach - they have explosion-proof cubicles within the airport terminals, inside which suspicious packages/luggage may be searched without having to clear the entire building. it would be a small step to insist the bag carrier does the searching...
