Yes, I'm sure it's even easier to ban everything, except for a
passport and tickets. Get all passengers to report 8 hours in
advance,for a full check and interrogation, then they must change
into sterile airline-provided jumpsuits, pack and send ALL clothes,
etc on by freight-only aircraft. Then reassemble everything at the
other end. There will be a cost to all this, but that can be solved by
a simple ticket tax.

If the above was implemented, I'm sure you'd still find someone who said
"Yes, but it's for security, so we must put up with it!" :)

The passenger numbers may drop just a tiny amount, but hey, the
airlines don't really like them much anyway.

And anyway, only a couple of weeks ago, there was a big fuss about the
numbers of people flying, and how we need a way to reduce numbers of
airline flights, to protect the environment. Hmmm. Nice timing ...
a bit like this, you mean?
