on my most recent trip to Seattle I got to experience those exciting new security checkpoint machines where you stand ramrod straight with your hands above your head like you’re caught in some kind of drug bust while the ENORMOUS VIBRATING MONOLITH CHAMBER you’re standing in shoots OMEGA HELL WAVES through you, presumably so any remaining metal on your person liquifies and explodes, revealing you as THE TERRORIST
