This is a question B3TA fixes the world

Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Got a grievance? You've got 30 days.
Publish your grievance, name your group/individual/institution and have at it. You have 30 days to track down and hurt/kill/destroy/annoy everyone and everything on your shit list - and they in turn have the right to respond with reciprocal or greater force to counter your assault. At the end of the 30 day window, all survivors consider the balance sheet wiped clean and continue on with their new grievance-free lives. For maximum effect, have everyone worldwide participate simultaneously in this apocalyptic exercise in mass culling. Yes, I know the sf short story based around this concept is well into its 6th decade.


"If you break into this car, it will explode."

Post prominently in all side windows using high contrast signs to warn the general populace, wire the car for sound, then wait for perps too stupid to believe what they read to remove themselves from society. This can also be applied to sheds and outbuildings.


For air travel in the USA, dissolve the TSA and DHS. Destroy the No Fly List and replace it with the No Hire List. Fill this new list with the names and SSNs of all current and former TSA and DHS employees. They've enjoyed making life miserable for everyone for close to a decade now: it is past time to return the favor.

For all domestic flights, adult passengers must truthfully answer the question "are you carrying any firearms aboard this flight?" and if unarmed they must provide a damn good answer explaining why they are not. All standard rounds will be confiscated and complimentary frangible rounds in all popular calibers will be provided for the duration of the flight. If a hijacking attempt is made, the first person to kill the hijacker will be rewarded with a full refund of her or his travel costs for that flight.

Unreasonably paranoid and prejudiced airline passengers, flight attendants and counter workers are causing flights to delay/detour/cancel for no good reason with great inconvenience and added expense shared by everyone aboard the aircraft. If a person decides to make her or his suspicions regarding a passenger known and action is taken upon those suspicions, that person shall be held liable for the remuneration of all associated costs for the affected flight, plus a substantial sum (let's start at a thousand) for each passenger aboard the craft to compensate for their inconvenience if it is found the flight diversion was made in error. The objective standard for an erroneous diversion will be determined upon landing: if the aircraft landed safely, the diversion was erroneous and penalties will be assessed.

shut up. Esta is working fine apart from the airlines insisting on i-94 also being completed.

Almond flavoured cake filling?

No one needs to travel anywhere by plane,
so there's really no point in moaning about it being a bit incovenient.

Still, when you implement your plan, will you be ensuring that all airline passengers are crack markspersons? Or do "frangible rounds" only kill terrorists?

Alternatively,
All Americans to stop behaving like cunts. Then none of this will be necessary.

Ever wondered what happens
When an airplane cabin depressurises due to a stray bullet? I believe it is not a pleasant experience.

I think this is the point of filling the bullets with almond paste.
Harmless to aeroplanes, deadly to terrorists.

Deadly to terrorists with an almond allergy, anyway.

I got as far as "objective standard for an erroneous diversion"
and gave up.

*sigh*
If a hijacking attempt is made, the first person to kill the hijacker will be rewarded with a full refund of her or his travel costs for that flight.

Cue terrorists who just blow the plane up without making so much as a peep first (if the goal is to kill the passengers) or releasing nerve gas to kill them all while injecting themselves with the antidote so they can fly the plane into whichever building they like unmolested by Second Amendment fetishists.
