I most look forward to flying with ...

Which is why I'm still not flying until the naked-scan machines are actually gone (the policy has changed, but the machines are still there in some cases) and the rules are returned to complete sanity.

Some examples of the silliness: They allow you to have a knife, but still ban box cutters, which are shorter and less dangerous than knives. Why? Well, the 9/11 terrorists used box cutters. So now, they're going to just have to use knives instead, or maybe beat people to death with golf clubs. What I know for sure is that this isn't about security.

Dignity. When I can fly with that, I will be much more likely to fly.

I'll explain the problem to you. In san fran they had public nudity for awhile. fat, ugly wrinkled old geezers walked around with their hairy moobs swinging in the breeze, along with their wrinkled peckers and sagging butt cheeks. get the picture? who the hell wants to see that, especially when trying to eat at a sidewalk cafe?
Clothing: it's for our protection, cause not everyone has a hot bod!

what's this obsession with whether people have clothes on or not?

I would answer your question, but you already answered it, immediately after that.

Do you think it's abnormal for me to force you to change your behaviors because of my problem?

No, wait. I didn't ask you if it was unjustified, unfair, evil, unreasonable, psychotic or antisocial. I asked you if it's abnormal. Look at history. We fuck around with each other because of our own problems all the time. That practically the only reason for half our laws.

My own damned food and drink.

Most people don't have pretty faces either - do you advocate hijab?
Nor pretty clothes, for that matter.
So what's your point again, unless, of course, you are a perv looking at bodies as sexual objects, and getting disappointed when they don't gratify your voyeurism?

Clothing is useful when protecting the clothed. But demanding that people wear clothing is religious baggage we can do without. I don't care whether my 70 year old neighbor wants to walk around naked and enjoy the sun on his frail body. Good for him. But he'd go to jail and be registered a sex offender because of religious perverts who can't distinguish sex from nudity, and think sex is bad so nudity is bad too. Balderdash.

Dell's service is "North American Tech Support", but it's pretty obvious it's "Talk to White People For An Additional Fee".

This is the internet. We all know what naked bodies look like.

No, it means some Slashdot editor is confusing Atlas Shrugged for reality again.
