The airport controversy has gotten out of "hand" (pun intended): Security personnel getting up-close and personal before boarding a flight to enjoy a long-planned vacation.   Enjoy your vacation after getting treated like a criminal.  Ho,ho, ho-whoa don't touch me there!

TSA searches at the airport—the pat down: how invasive and inappropriate. All for our security is the official mantra; the search is for weapons. So, it follows, then, if it is evident you have no place to put a weapon, you can avoid getting felt up getting up. Want to dodge a pat down from airport security? Drop the garments.

This is a prime reason to get back to basics, folks.  We were born naked without any secrets (or hidden weaponry), what has caused us to run from ourselves? Is it that we envy animals their fur, so we craft our own and call it clothes?  Something to think about.  It may just be time to stop being the clowns of the animal kingdom.

The nudist colonies have had it right.  How many sneak terrorist attacks have they experienced?  It is time to learn from the nude and terrorist free communities.  Beyond not having places to hide things and so frighten airport personnel, they save some mad time packing for a vacay. Seriously, they pack what? A comb? Toothbrush? Towel (air drying would be an inappropriate assumption)?  Maybe chapstick and, hopefully, antibacterial gel…So, Carry-on bag, tops! Can you imagine the amount of money that could be saved?  Not just for travel costs, but for overall budgeting.  Think about your financial portfolio: how many things purchased per year are clothes are clothes accessories?  Whoa, we might could get the nation out of debt!

Winters, admittedly, would be difficult, but as they weather other seasons, likely the body acclimates to cold climate changes easier and with less discomfort.  Thus even packing for a Christmas trip would still yield a smaller amount of packing.

Speaking of which, have you noticed crime rates go up in the summer heat?  If all were nude, the heat level frustration would lower as would crime, yes?

The assumption is often that violence from terrorism will come from persons of the Middle East or Eastern Asia like Pakistan.  Do you know how HOT it is in those places?  Have you noticed how much more clothing is incrementally worn there compared to here?

You want peace on earth? Simple: drop the clothes.
