I hope the airport security considers that bombers may insert articles in body cavities. Think how big a kotex is. A huge bomb could fit up some woman's private parts. And several women travelling together could all have explosive hidden so they could be shaheeds together. This may sound comical but it is deadly serious. The authorities need to search every Muslim woman's orifices for weapons or explosives. They should also search gay men. Gay men regularly insert butt plugs up their rectums to stretch them out. It is well known from prison smuggling episodes that all sorts of large objects, including 22 caliber pistols, have been smuggled into prisons in peoples rectums. So all gay men and all muslim men need to have a cavity search before boarding any aircraft.

Of course a turban or one of the woman's headwraps could also be used to hide a weapon or explosive. These must all be unravelled and inspected.

This may sound like a joke but it is serious and I hope the authorities are aware of the problem. It is not just shoes that can contain a weapon or explosives.
