There was a comedian that stated that we should all show up at the airport in the nude, guess that is what it is going to take

i agree wit you, people we should kinda see it from their point of view, (okay, I'll admit their unreasonable sometimes) one time i was traveling, and took my school back bag which had my pencil case in it (to do my h.w) and my scissors were in there, and it set off the alarm, they just like inspected the blade (to make sure i didn't kill any people with it) and i was good...

Well, I got pulled over and searched coming back from the Bahamas. Had to remove a hair clip, lipstick container in my pocket, and then the alarm still kept going off. So then i was manually searched and my bra clasp went off on a hand wand. It was a mess. I was not treated to kindly. But then again I have long blond hair and blue eyes. LOL. So, yes the alarms will go off on bra clasps

Common sense is very uncommon in security matters. Hysteria is the rule of behavior. An 80-year-old woman from my church, who is very proud of her athletic lifestyle and trim figure wears an under-wire bra. Aren't they all underwire unless you deliberately remove it? That's the shaping. Anyway, she refused to strip, and was arrested. She was detained, a couple of hours, and missed her flight, but was not jailed because her children/grandchildren are all active in local politics and the mayor and a superior court justice both showed up at the airport to tell the security guards to lighten up. Her daughter then re-dressed her in garments which had been passed through the scanner and she got on a later plane. She was more amused than bitter, and it certainly gave her a story to tell at boring dinner parties.

Ladies, ladies! The answer is simple, go commando! You'll breeze right through the metal detectors ans we men will love you for it. As the Irish say: Erin go braless!
