The future of travel

My recent trip back from the UK (see the post below) had me musing on where this will all end up. We're now at the stage of no hand luggage and obligatory shoe checks. Perhaps the next plot will involve some other garment of clothing. So, on arrival at security, we'll be asked to take off all our clothes and wear a government supplied garment for the trip. When I mentioned this to my wife, she added that it had better be tnius (modest) or she wasn't going to fly. So then it hit me. The ultimate point of this Islamist plot. A chador for everyone!
