Fly naked
It's been suggested before, but I will go so far as to predict it.
All people entering an airport will strip naked and don government issued paper clothing. No carry-on allowed. All luggage will be shipped by pilotless drone aircraft.
Happy now? Feel safe? This kind of nonsense is the logical consequence of freaking out over blinking bread boards and play-doh.
There is an actual reason for the utterly nonsensical, pointless, yet dangerous actions of the TSB and the police (coming close to shooting a young girl at a crowded airport whom they think might have a bomb) It is to inculcate "learned helplessness" in the collective mind of america. For a dictatorship to succeed it is important for the slave population to believe that there is no hope, and nothing can be done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness
Far far worse than this is coming, inter alia, quite possibly an attack on Iran followed by the declaration of martial law in the ensuing "national emergency". And when it does come, thanks to the efforts of the cheney/bush junta and their brilliant social engineers, most americans won't say a word, except perhaps to post anonymously on Salon how it is wrong not to obey orders, and how those who disagree with "orders are "stupid" or "attention seeking" at best, "enemies", and "traitors" at worst. Then like good defenders of die heimat, sorry, the Homeland, they will dutifully report them to the proper authorities.
