Bombs on Planes Solution

I wrote this piece below before I figured out that planes can't fly. Neither can helicopters, crop-dusters, rockets to the moon, space-stations etc. or even drones. I will not expound much further about these horrible "studios" and video productions except to say that none of them have the ability to turn left or right and the engines cannot lift that much weight and they have no "boosters" for very important heavy areas. I actually took pictures of older flying machines before they tried to steal my solutions of how to fix the problems. I also have brand-new inventions that do not look anything like them and use no fossil fuels to zoom all over the planet and further into space. Oh well, you can jump on one of their machines or use them to have fun, but honestly, you never know if you will make it to your destination as they frequently fall from the sky killing all on board, anyway.

The many tragedies of airplane bombings highlight’s a special challenge for the airline industry. Some people think that a bombing couldn’t happen to them, but the risk is too great to ignore. I thought about this desperate need for a solution for some time before I remembered something in my past that might help solve this problem. 

Having many years of experience in the transportation industry, I finally realized that the solution for keeping bombs from boarding passenger planes harks back to a time when we used to haul duffel bags for the military. We would load up a whole trailer full of bags and transport them separate from everything else.

What I am proposing is that we make every passenger put ALL of their carry-ons, phones, computers, devices (all turned off), or any other bags/items into a “trunk” that has their ID electronically attached to it. This also contains any possible battery fires. Then, those trunks are put onto a small baggage plane that essentially acts like a trailer for the large passenger jet. The passengers are only allowed to eat prepackaged and cleared foods or drinks for the entire trip (they won’t starve!). The airline can pre-check baby formula's and can even supply diapers because the passenger pre-plans their flight telling the airline ahead of time what they will need for the flight. 

Every trip is pre-planned this way so that – even shoes? – may be put in the ‘trunks’ of the “trailer” plane. Then, each person goes through the standard body search machine checking for those things (anything) not allowed onto the plane. This trailer plane is on the same flight plan as the larger passenger plane, only it takes off about ten or fifteen minutes after or before the large plane has departed. This way, it will land not far behind or ahead of the passenger jet so that people can retrieve their trunk full of possessions when they reach their destination. The trunks are off-loaded from the trailer plane and put into ques where the passenger jet number is digitally displayed. This allows the owner of the possessions in each trunk to easily find their bags. 

The smaller trailer plane solution cuts down on the need for more TSA agents and ensures that bombs are not allowed on large passenger jets. The costs for running/flying the smaller trailer plane are cheaper than paying for thousands of TSA agents. Also, the trailer planes can hold several different airlines or planes baggage or trunks of baggage at once if it is going to the same destination. We can color each trunk to match a particular passenger flight so that they are easy to separate at the destination. Also, people will be able to immediately realize when their trunk is on the belt for pick-up when they see their number lit up on the overhead screen.

We can still perform random checks of someone’s trunk of items and just like fast food lines, the re-entry of the trunk can be given back to passengers at timed intervals on the belt so that there is only the one trunk ID owner at the pickup or delivery point for that trunk. The airport personnel can call out the ID of each trunk on the belt or display it on a screen at the destination. Then, the trunk can be unloaded by the ID owner, one at a time, with the assistance of a couple of TSA personnel. This process also cuts down on the need for large numbers of TSA employees as boarding occurs at the same time as baggage screening and loading. If the plane is excessively delayed or cancelled, the passenger may be issued a different ID (RFID reader sticker or badge) later. This may take a little time, but it is faster than the wait-time people are experiencing now just to board a plane or wait for their luggage. It also safeguards passengers from a possible terrorist blowing up their bomb while at the baggage loading or claim area. 

This way, no one has to be at the trunk/baggage loading or claim area to assist the ID owner with loading or unloading their trunk except one TSA person or two. The ID trunk owner uses their ID to swipe across the trunk at their destination to open it up; thereby, retrieving their bags and other possessions. They drop their used ID badge in a drop box located at the end of the belt and leave the empty trunk on the belt where it goes back around behind the wall of the baggage claim area to be put back into use reprogrammed for the next trailer plane flight. If using RFID stickers, these are easy to remove and trash by the bag’s owner or TSA.

A better immediate solution for admitting riders into the airport is to make a station that admits people one at a time and one vehicle at a time. Or the airport can make several stations located at the plane departure area that will hold only one vehicle per station. This way, the passenger is the only one necessary to check their baggage in for a flight. There may be up to six stations in front of the departure entryway spaced several car lengths apart so that the cars are in a single line leading up to the departure entry. 

Then, the person puts their bags, one at a time, on the x-ray machine to weigh it and screen it for bombs. The bag may then be issued an RFID or bar code sticker by the machine after it has been cleared for boarding. Each bag will have its own tag that the bag owner sticks onto the top of the bag or trunk. The conveyor belt takes their bags to the staging area for the trailer plane that compliments their flight plan. 

Then, when the trailer plane arrives behind (or ahead of) them at their destination airport, the RFID will be read by a machine as it is put on a conveyor belt and that number will be flashed by a computer screen at the baggage area for the owner to pick it up. Remember, though, that this works for current airport check-ins, but may change as the all-in-one check-in and boarding process is implemented. This is a short-term easy solution for airline companies to implement until they have badges made with the ability to reprogram after each passenger’s bags have been removed.

Even TSA or airport employees should not be allowed to have items at work so that they cannot ‘hand off’ bomb items to passengers waiting in line to board planes (this has already happened on one doomed flight). The employees can use the old system of communication where there are employee phones already supplied at the airport for employees to keep in touch with family while they are at work. This means that they are not allowed to carry in any items such as phones or computers and they are also subject to random screening when they come to work. 

Employees can be encouraged to leave their items in their vehicles or at home. They may eat food at the airport restaurants at a very discounted rate while at work or switching planes. Passengers can do this, too. Airport phones can be attached to phone booth areas (just like at cell-phone stores), so that they are not stolen by employees. Because there have already been instances of radicalization of airport workers, the no items mandate must include employees as well as potential passengers for this system to properly work.

As with my other solutions, this one may be tweaked to fit different needs, such as buses or ships. I just wanted to help the airline industry, passengers, and our transportation system understand how me, and my company, may help with problems in the future. This solution is intellectual property.
