In Which Your Author Discusses Boobs

Here's a tactic in the war on terror that I can totally get behind.

Denmark’s government is being called upon to employ a lethal new weapon in the fight against Islamist extremism: bare breasts.

No, I’m not making this up – and also deny outrageous suggestions that I’m looking for an excuse to tear myself away from the world-changing Wikileaks exposé. Peter Skaarup, the foreign policy spokesman of the Danish People’s Party, wants footage of topless women at beaches to be included in a video shown to prospective immigrants, in order to deter religious fundamentalists.

Now granted, I'm not particularly sure how effective this is going to be in terms of deterring terrorists. I don't know that many of them will say "Screw jihad! Those people have naughty parts! Run away! Run away!"

However, I would ask you the gentle, non-terrorist reader: Coming into an airport, which scenario would you prefer?

Welcome to America. Please turn your head and cough.
Or...

Welcome to Denmark, Land of Awesome

Do I really need to go to the trouble of conducting a poll on this?
