"We could get rid of all murderers in an instant with the Explosive Renewal Act 2012! Just have to blow up the city - we guarantee it will work though! :o)"
even more Draconian than preventing terrorists from blowing up airliners, have all passengers pass singly through a booth that has the ability to detonate explosives. You have hidden explosives on you, you blow up in the security booth before you ever get to the plane. Problem solved. But someone would surely complain that this is cruel and unusual punishment, highly inhumane :P On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 10:51 AM, Alan Davies <[email protected]>wrote: > ** > Unfortunately your politicians that come up with these clangers don't > listen to us outside of the US complaining that they're insane! ;o) > Sounds a bit like those who put it forward have started to get an inkling > that through their rose-tinted non-technical eyes, the issue is not quite > as clear cut as they thought!
