Are you going to throw up on this upcoming trip to Arizona we have?
Louis: [Laughs] I've got my prescription patches put behind the ear there.
David: Right. Louis used to take dramamine, right? But that was like nothing.
Louis: Yeah, that stuff doesn't work.
David: That was like water for you. So now you have the patch.
Louis: They're so expensive.
David: Really? How much are they?
Louis: Oh, God. I think... I think like four of these things were like 60 bucks.
David: And you need... will one last you the whole day, including the layover and the...
Louis: Oh, yeah. One will last... one could last you a couple days, if you keep it on.
David: And it's not risky. I mean, what does it do? Does it just prevent you from vomiting?
It prevents the vomit reflex?
Louis: I think it basically shuts off the part of your brain that tells your body to
bring that stuff up.
David: Right. So my question is...
Louis: So, you know, it could be bad. Like if I ate something poisonous...
David: If you had food poisoning, and the correct course of action was to have that
bodily reflex, what... could you die?
Louis: I guess it's possible.
David: Have you heard of these things, Natan? I mean, is there... it sounds like it could
be a little risky, if it's... you see where I'm going with this?
Natan Pakman: Yeah, I'm sure.
David: His mic's not even on, but I can hear him, but I don't think the audience can.
Natan: Louis, does it actually prevent your brain from sending those signals, or does
it just make you less nauseous?
Louis: I think it prevents your brain from sending those signals.
David: All right, next time you... well, you know, less than three feet from the mic would
be much better. Also, Louis, a... I'm hoping not to throw up, myself, on the flight. A
baby has received a pat-down at Kansas City Airport. Did you hear about this story?
Louis: Yeah, I saw the picture.
David: We actually have the picture, and we can put it up for our television audience,
and it's... when you look at it, it's just completely absurd. The TSA responded on its
blog that they reviewed the screening of this family, and they found that the child's stroller
alarmed during an explosives screening, so that this was the right... the right way to
go. They're like patting the diaper down.
Louis: Yeah.
David: Reportedly, suspicious material, Louis, was found in the diaper. Still waiting on
test results to see exactly what was in there. [Laughs]
Louis: Hey, you know what? People are crazy. There's no doubt in my mind that if we did
not have the security that we do have, there is some nut out there who would put something
harmful in the kid's diaper.
David: Here we go. So this is the same thing where you said when the six-year-old girl
was patted down, you said something like well, listen, if you don't pat down the kids, then
people are just going to blow the kids up.
Louis: They will, Dave, and you know what? When someone puts something explosive on their
kid and blows up a plane, you'll be singing a different tune.
David: Well, I don't know that I'll be singing at all, but the thing is I just don't think...
I'm not ridiculing the fact that kids are-- you know, you can't just say... if you say
we will not screen kids at all, then you're obviously giving away a lot of information
that you don't want to. My take is the entire system is just not effective. The entire method,
the focus on items and baggage and, you know, can you see through with the X-ray. I think
we need a different process. I like what is done in Israel more. Louis says we don't have
the resources to do that in a significant way nationwide. I just disagree that this
entire situation is actually keeping us that safe.
Louis: I guess it's the best we can do right now. I agree, though. We do need something
better. But like you said, like I said, it's a major undertaking.
David: Yeah. And along the same lines, on... when I fly later in the week, I am probably
not going to do the body scanner again. So will I have another *** pat-down experience?
We'll see. Will you be opting out of the scanner?
Louis: I will, if it even comes across. Remember, last time I flew, it didn't even happen.
David: That's right. I read that now at that airport, there's... more people are going
through the *** scanner.
Louis: Yeah.
