      Does it have a large drain and a shower head to remove that "frog in a blender" look after the fact ?

        I hate reality TV, but I'd love to see a live camera inside one of those things. Everytime a passenger started acting strange before entering one of those, we could get an SMS "Run to the TV! Quick!"

          Then you'd have claustrophobic people having a fit. There would be those in the news that say: "What if the door jammed while you're inside? Will other electronic equipment be affected?" Then someone will spread a rumor that it stops pacemakers and there will be protesters picketing.

          Finally, some enterprising terrorist will bring pieces on board and assemble it in the bathroom. The news will highlight how ineffective it was because someone got around it and how it was a big waste of taxpayer money. Remember people, 2/3 of the world is filled with crazy people and we share the planet with them.

          I think the best solution is for everyone to fly naked with no carry on luggage. That way no one can hide anything. The plane should have pods like those Japanese capsule hotels, so no one touches anyone. No bombs, no fighting.

          Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

            Are you absolutely sure on that?

              Flying naked would be fine as long as you didn't have to sit next to some blubber body with BO.

                You probably insulted a lot of people using this site. And how many would quit flying because of the size of you know what. I guess they would have the plane sectioned off like, coach 1 to 4 inches, business 4 to 8 inches, and first class. it would be the first time in my life I get to fly first class.

                  At least you got it simple - my seat would depend on who would sit next to me.

                    LOL that reminds me of that movie The Fifth Element. "Assume the take off position.. I want ALL positions! "

                      Since there'd be no seats no one would have to sit near anyone.

                      It could be done with privacy dividers. You enter, disrobe, and proceed down a corridor to the plane. Only airport security who would sit behind one way glass would see you and you couldn't see them laugh. My mom pointed out that obese claustrophobic people who could not climb up to an upper capsule would probably never fly. But hey, everyone needs to make sacrifices. LOL

                          It didn't say that I couldn't do it in the manual.
