X-Ray my arse! Skin-tight government issued uniforms instead
Well it looks like it is going to become a reality in the not too distant future. Walking through an X-Ray machine to catch a freaking plane. As if the whole ‘plane catching’ experience wasn’t a soul destroying enough they want to add another indignity to the game.
This just blows in so many areas I don’t know where to start. You have got the increased dangers of cancer and other ailments as a result of exposure to radiation and… well…. some random bloke will get a look at the size of my willy…..that’s about it I guess, but surely that is enough to get fired up about!! I think I would rather submit to a mandatory rubber glove cavity search than this X-Ray crap. At least this way both sides are having to ‘give’ a little.
I think we are starting to see society move from ‘free to choose your own’ clothes to a government issued skin tight uniform similar to that which is so prevalent in all those sci-fi movies and television shows. These uniforms won’t be a fashion attempt to make everyone look sexy, it will be more about making sure nobody is carrying guns and other concealed weapons. It’s just easier to make everyone wear the same skin-tight uniform than have X-Ray machines all over the shop, I mean there are only so many places to ‘carry’ a gun.
Good old science fiction, once again it leads us to the solution of a problem never worth investigating.
