That will make this problem go away and save a lot of time and effort. Just be sure bystanders are out of harms way.

1. Right...no bystanders at an airport security station...
Who cares if you blow up a plane if you can kill 500 people at the airport?

This or knockout gas in the cabin
This idea was floated shortly after 9/11. If a disturbance erupted, knockout gas would flood the cabin putting everyone to sleep. I really like that idea. Common sense always wins.

10. Have an image of GW at every entrance.
If they try to attach explosives to the image then lock them up.

If they just try spitting on him or something less drastic than explosives let them go.

13. Thoughts. Hidden thoughts. They must be detected.
That will be the important breakthrough. Governments are working on that detection technique even as we post!

17. YOU ARE ALL WRONG
What we need is a physic standing at the check station. That way they can tell who's holding and who isn't.

Truthfully, I do believe that some people have physic instincts, but I am just making fun of the republicans and THEIR SOLUTIONS to everything.
