If you're willing to be strip searched in order to travel, then sure, for
about an hour until everyone involved gets really tired of the process.

But to do this kind of inspection even minimally, we're talking about having
people remove their shoes, be personally x-rayed by one of the new ultra
low-power systems that you stand against (which are good enough to tell what
religion you are :-) while the $5 an hour rent-a-cops try to figure out if
that's a bomb or just some part of your anatomy.

Plus a meticulous hand examination of every piece of luggage, possibly
banning any electronic device from checked or carry-on luggage, etc.

I think people will stay home first.
