AP Washington, DC In a move which mirrors the knee-jerk reactions to shoe-bombers and shampoo-bombers of the past, the Obama Administration has signed off on a joint recommendation by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Transportation Security Administration and the U.S State Department to require random trouser removal of passengers boarding all commercial airline flights originating from the US and those flights, abroad, terminating at US destinations.
Effective immediately, security supervisors at 179 airports, worldwide, have already received the necessary guidelines for the purpose of immediately training all airport boarding security personnel. Among those guidelines are the criteria for random selections as well as those that the ACLU have already labeled as profiling as passengers from countries considered predominantly Islamic are to be required to remove their trousers at a ratio of 3:1 when compared to all other travelers.
Additionally, women passengers will not be spared the requirements although it has been leaked by unnamed sources that persons who utilize suspenders, in lieu of a belt, for the purpose of maintaining trouser stability, might be waived through due to time constraints required for the new security measures to be applied to them.
