Penn Jillete’s solution to national travel security:
You know, we have the
solution on how to do all the security: Have a man and woman at each
gate
leading to the airplane strip. They’re stripped
from the waist
down, and every
passenger has to lean over and lightly kiss the genitals of the person
of the
same sex and then have a piece of
bacon. And all
hijacking just goes away.
You don’t have to actually
have any sexual contact. Just enough so that anybody that has the
sexual
phobias of the Abrahamic religions [Judaism,
Christianity,
and Islam] has to
violate that deeply. You probably don’t have to pay the two people;
they would
probably think it was a cool, fun thing
to do. You
just barely touch your lips
with the genitals—just like that—and you have a little piece of bacon
and you
get on the plane. There’s no
searching your
luggage. No nothing. We’re all set.
