At lunch today, my colleagues mentioned that old people and children/babies are no longer required to remove their shoes by TSA.
Old people and children/babies are not considered to be a threat.
Some curmudgeon wrote in the NY Times or the New Yorker or some similar publication that he took umbrage. Just because you're old doesn't mean you couldn't still be a terrorist.
I said it would be easy to turn old people into security threats.
1. Find an old person with a terminal illness.
2. Offer old person with a terminal illness a whopping amount of cash to care for her family. Fifty percent up front, fifty percent upon self-detonation.
Said colleague whom I respect greatly, "You would be a great mastermind...if you want to move to Yemen."
