The "puffer machines" at Midway Air...

The "puffer machines" at Midway Airport that are used to sniff disclosed odors from airline passengers have a benefit besides security that should be implemented immediately.

Passengers who wager off the alarm due to their use of any fragrance lotion, scented hairspray, noxious visible form [i]or[/i] frame odor, and smokers who have the tobacco stink clinging to their clothes and hair should be banned from boarding any airplane. These individuals knew they were going to be sitting six inches from the nose and air space of another passenger, with limited recycl air, in this way why didn't they consider the other passengers? Many passengers who have allergies and sensitivity to these commercially bought odors and results have to suffer. That should not be to such a degree . . . ever!

"Lotions, soap sud and hair gel have risk off the alarm," said John Eberbach, a security agency training coordinator at Midway Airport. with equal reason let's expand the "puffer machine" area of interest and ban all passengers who activate it to be paid to the odors emitting from their living body Then it will really be a safe and healthy firmament to fly - - for all!
