Each terror plot inspires a ban on the same exact act the terrorist attempted: liquids, shoes, walking around the plane. Soon Al Qaeda will win over American hearts and minds with terror plots we could really use. A spate of bombing attempts at gates where flights have been delayed for hours. (Man: We can't have people loitering in the terminal. Everyone subject to delayed flights must get on the bus to our 4-star sex hotel.) Bombs carried in shoes, inside underwear and anywhere except check-in luggage. (Woman: Terrorists fly without luggage, so we'll pay you for each bag you check in!) Check economy- class terrorists hiding in tiny middle seats in narrow rows. (Man: Coach is cramped- allows bad guys to hide bombs! From now on, every seat is first class.)
