Four American airports have eased boarding procedures for geezers in a trial conducted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Passengers who look at least 75 years old will no longer have to remove their shoes and jackets.
They'll also get a second body scan by wand if anomalies are detected before pat-downs of private parts are employed.
TSA obviously believes persons who have survived three-quarters of a century or longer are no longer receptive to detonating their Depends or sensible shoes.
Big mistake.
Some of the nastiest individuals on Earth are old farts. Ask any sitcom casting director.
TSA last year relaxed the same security procedures for children aged 12 or younger.
Again, big mistake.
Preteens routinely fry ants with magnifying lens or pull the wings off of flies.
Blowing up a jetliner would be child's play to them. (18 MARCH 2012)
