a modest proposal


Embargoed until July 13th, 2007.

Office of the Secretary to the Minister of Information

Bittermam Airlines, set to take to the skies post-haste, announced that passengers will be screened for modesty. The technology, purportedly developed by Homeland experts, is designed to reduce all airlines travelers to the same state of being - that of being naked in front of a crowd of strangers - and thus challenge any predisposition toward immodesty. Those found lacking deference will not be allowed to board. It was not immediately clear how the airline expects to implement the technology, or even how it works, but a spokesperson for the company was able to obtain these test pictures, taken of grandparents set for departure to America's Vacationland.

Freedom still isn’t free, but now it's more transparent.
