Tom Friedman, the guy who wrote “The Lexus and the Olive Tree”, is proposing a novel solution to airline security: fly nude.

If everybody flew naked, not only would you never have to worry about the passenger next to you carrying box cutters or exploding shoes, but no religious fundamentalists of any stripe would ever be caught dead flying nude, or in the presence of nude women, and that alone would keep many potential hijackers out of the skies.

nice solution, you think. well, nudity can also be a new style of terrorism:

The womenfolk were so embarrassed by the nudity of the well-built men that they ran away from their homes giving a free hand to the robbers to decamp with their valuables.

what gives?
