Airline security thought experiment

Suppose you could offer people a choice. For each flight there would be two planes. One plane would use the new method of airline security and the other plane would use the old system.
Which airplane do you think would fill up first?

Or let us say which one we would choose.

New style or old style? I'll start.

New style.

  1. Well, I guess I'd choose new style also.

    But I have to admit that there's a small part of me that's a little resentful about the new style. I've had the thought that the next time I fly (hopefully not soon) I'll strip down to my underwear before I get in the screening line. That's what they really want to get at, right? How many tens of thousands of dollars would that stunt cost me? Might go viral on You Tube, though. :-)
