beano1949, That's a really great idea.

I wonder if the airlines will get to keep the money after the "Bomb-Sensing Ticket Machine" invalidates the ticket. I bet they will, because the purchaser will be jail bound, as least long enough to miss the flight. Too bad for the customer.

I know that the airlines have been looking for a way to become profitable for quite a long time, and this sounds like they've finally found it.

The airlines routinely overbook flights by about 40%, knowing that some won't show up due to change of schedule, missed connections, etc. Now they can overbook 4000% and count on the "Machine" throwing most of the people off of the flight.

Of course, this is probably going to increase the number of law suits, due to false positives. But I'm sure they have already taken that into account. And I'm equally sure that the government will indemnify them from civil prosecution, in the interests of safety and National Security.

As I said, Great Idea!
