Wear your PJs through TSA?

June 25, 2012 By Terry

Apple, orange, or lemon
So is this idea an apple (crisp and clean with great potential), an orange (once you peel it back, the core is juicy), or a big lemon (it just plain sucks)? Leave a comment to let me know.

Aloha, McKenna here. Terry is off doing the TSA Two Step today, so I thought I’d do a little travel-tip post. I could give you the usual blah-blah tips like organize, wear shoes that come off easily, and all that stuff, but I’d rather talk about an innovative solution that could revolutionize the airline-travel industry.
Today’s security checks at airports involve a host of steps designed to stop crazies from getting on a plane. That’s all well and good, but if TSA wanted to make it easier and faster for people to get through those security checks, there’s a simple solution. Let people wear their PJs through the security checkpoint.
That’s right, PJs. It makes perfect sense. Right now, we get up, get dressed, go to the airport, get undressed for security, get dressed again after security, then wait two hours to board our flight. That’s pretty darned inefficient.
So, imagine the alternative. You get up in the morning and put your day’s stuff in your carryon bag. Head on out. At the airport, just walk through security—I mean, what are you going to hide under those pajamas? No shoes. No metal to detect. Nothing but, well, you. Then, on the other side, go to the changing room. Pop in and get dressed. Voila, you’re ready for the day.
The way I figure this, everyone saves a bundle of time. Just get up and go. Fewer worries. Fewer hassles. Now this might not catch on right away. But, if you give it a try, it might just start a movement.
I suppose TSA might be a little reluctant at first. I mean, think of all those body scanners they’ll no longer need. Maybe they could sell them on eBay?
Now that I’ve solved that problem, I’ve gotta go. And if you want to help brainstorm on this one, just leave a comment. Mahalo for listening, McKenna.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.

    BOBB here,

    McKenna, What a great idea.

    When Shinazy returns from her daily run – she started yet another running program today – I’ll tell her to dig out those jammies Qantas gave her when she went to Australia.

    The Qantas PJs are perfect as a TSA PSU (passenger security uniform.)
