Airport security

This makes perfect sense to me. I'd recommend Justin's skills.

From a comment on the Dilbert blog:
You know the drill when you go to airports. Wait in line, take off the shoes, put your keys, watch, wallet/purse onto the cute little X-ray machine conveyor belt, walk through the little scanner, get called over for your luggage to be more thoroughly searched, etc. I have an answer for this long drawn-out process be shortened considerably while also increasing accuracy to nearly 100%.
Toddlers.
Toddlers have an amazing and innate knack to find the most dangerous thing possible and immediately zero in on it. Put a 1 1/2 year old in front of a table holding a pillow, a Ginsu knife set, a television remote control, and a CD of Bobby Darin's greatest hits--the kid will immediately lock onto the knives.
Why are we spending millions of dollars on safety and security when you can just have a toddler reach into a person's luggage and find any weapons or potential dangers instantly? It's time we put these criminal masterminds to work making our nation safer.

You got that right! Toddlers are the answer to a lot of security things, they can help people develope better locks to keep people safer, and anything else that todders can get into and out of, that adults can't.

Go figure! Why didn't I think of this before. Ha! Ha!
