If everyone had to fly naked there would be no problems. No need for pat-downs, just a quick trip through the metal detector to make sure there's nothing up the old bunger and on through the gate. Cheap easy fix.

I have one of those little folding tools that has a knife, scissors, file and then some on my key ring. I fly a lot and take it off my keys when I travel. One day I forgot to take it off. I didn’t realize it until I got to my seat on the plane and went to grab my reading glasses from my purse. I was mortified when I looked in my purse and realized I just “smuggled” this thing on the plane with me. At first I felt terrible but then I said to myself, hey, I just got through security with this thing. On the way back I packed it in my suitcase. Overall, this was an eye opener regarding the level of security at airports for me.

Yeah but think how much worse it would be when some 400+ lb. person is next to you in coach and his body dunlaps over into your seat! Yuck.

If we're flying naked it's worth it to pay the extra bucks and sit next to Angelina Jolie in first class.

I never said there wouldn't be drawbacks. You might end up in first class next to Michael Moore. Whiskey please!
