Metal plates send messages to airport x-ray screeners.

I want one with the 4th amendment on it.

    “I want one with the 4th amendment on it.”
    While I get the joke – there is no “right” to travel by airplane anywhere….

    Tim,
    Sorry to say “I told you so,” but I told you that the Bill of Rights was a bad idea.

    Point taken, Tim, but I don’t like where that leads. Technically you don’t have a right to walk down the street without being searched, either, but our rights don’t mean much if they only apply if we never leave home.

    Are metal plates necessary? I would think metal foil would block x-rays well enough for the message to be seen.
