And by “being a visionary,” I mean that I think this pilot was showing us what we can look forward to when it comes to air travel.

Pilot Michael D. Slynn, 49, was asked to remove his belt and shoes during screening Friday afternoon. Slynn laughed at security guards and lowered his pants to his ankles.

It’s well documented that I think eventually air travel will involve everyone being naked and hermetically sealed.

I think I’d be less embarrassed by that than by the full-body scanners. Most likely due to the fact that I’d have to be unconscious to be hermetically sealed.

Hey, maybe there would be a group discount on shrink wrap and being shipped in the cargo hold.

Yes, I’m overreacting, but what do you think? E-mail me at matt@spmags.com, or you can share a thought or two by using the “Post Your Comment” option below.
