My plan:

1. Dress in ethnically ambiguous clothing.

2. Coat myself in insecticide before heading to the airport.

3. Look shifty.

4. Refuse the millimeter wave machine.

5. Get Detained.

6. Take off ethnically ambiguous clothes.

7. Scream: "I'm a white male... what now bitches!"



If you're going to go through that much trouble, the Colorado School of Mines does a high-speed photography workshop every so often. You are photographing explosives of various types. I would imagine clothes worn during the workshop would be very interesting to airport scanners with a bonus of learning about high-speed photography.


I have been wanting to book a flight to Colorado.


1. Find harmless/odourless/cheap chemical with some nitro groups or otherwise molecular shifty character.

2. Refill electronic air-freshener dispenser with said liquid.

3. Deploy dispenser in pre-security airport coffee shop or other likely congregation spot.

4. Purchase high-backed leather chair & fluffy white cat; Cackle maniacally.


8. Get shot at multiple times
