2. What if one tends to not wear underwear?
Not me, naturally. Just a general question.

6. Then they will give you really ugly standard issue ones to put on.
Not 'you' of course, just generally.

15. What if the passenger is too large to wear them? Will they have to wear two pair?
Two pair...is that four underwears?

I'm confused.

18. I'm confused. The thong fit under the pants, how does it now not fit over them?
Those are awful thick pants. Or perhaps it is sudden water bloat. That could happen. Especially in the last hour of the flight.

23. What about the kids? You know they wear their pants baggy, below their butts.
With their drawers showing. Will they have to hike up their pants and keep their now outer underwear all low and baggy? Like a reverse effect.

24. Could be a series problem.
But yes, I think that they will have to wear their boxers around their knees and their pants up at old man height.

25. The bigger issue is going to be the infants with diapers outside their Garanimals.
How the hell is that going to work?

5. But then your outside pants would be your underwear!
This is nothing more than declaring war on a tactic of how we wear clothes!

11. Lord, it's crazy how one event becomes an endless generalization
Edited on Tue Dec-29-09 10:39 PM by tigereye
to wit : the shoe guy - so now everyone has to take off their shoes

the liquid guys - so now no one can have any large bottles of liquids

now the underwear guy... recipe for bureaucratic wedgies?


I think the over-generalization is just absurd. It's like a form of insanity...

17. Is the underwear mandatory?
I always go commando in memory of my combat duty in Thailand.

Although I hear the feel of the new Calvin Klein gotchies are to die for .

26. That ain't the worst of it yet.
When I saw the computer-generated animation on the news this morning of some dummy terriorist that had hidden something up his butt, I told my spouse, that's it, I'm not flying no more.

Shoe-bomber, we got shoe searches. Butt-bomber, nuh-uh, that's it!

33. The question is
will the GOP support airport colonoscopies to increase airport security or oppose them because it's a slippery scope from there to socialized healthcare?

36. TSA announces outsourcing baggage inspection to China.
To please Jim DeMint who thinks unionization of baggage inspectors would be the most dangerous threat to our national security.
