The "puffer machines" at Midway Airport that are used to sniff outodors from airline passengers have a benefit besides security thatshould be implemented immediately.
Passengers who set off the alarm due to their use of any perfume,lotion, scented hairspray, noxious body odor, and smokers who havethe tobacco stench clinging to their clothes and hair should bebanned from boarding any airplane. These individuals knew they weregoing to be sitting six inches from the nose and air space of anotherpassenger, with limited recycled air, so why didn't they consider theother passengers? Many passengers who have allergies and sensitivityto these commercially bought odors and products have to suffer. Thatshould not be so . . . ever!
"Lotions, soap suds and hair gels have set off the alarm," saidJohn Eberbach, a security agency training coordinator at MidwayAirport. So let's expand the "puffer machine" area of concern, andban all passengers who activate it due to the odors emitting fromtheir person. Then it will really be a safe and healthy sky to fly --for all!
