Prediction

JESSI KLEIN, HOST:

In just a minute, we'll ask our panelists to predict, now that we have enhanced TSA pat-downs, what will be the next change to make air travel even worse. But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and TIAA. Whether it's investing, advice, banking or retirement, TIAA believes smart financial decisions should enable life, not define it. TIAA calls this The New Success Story. Learn more at tiaa.org. Lumber Liquidators, a proud sponsor of NPR, offering more than 400 styles, including hardwood, bamboo, laminate and vinyl, with flooring specialists and hundreds of stores nationwide. More at lumberliquidators.com or 1-800-HARDWOOD. And Stitch Fix, an on-demand personal styling service for women and men. Stylists and handpicked fashion based on each client's preferences. Customers keep what's liked and send back the rest. Learn more at stitchfix.com. You guys, women be working.

ALONZO BODDEN: Buyers of the new super saver economy no-frills tickets will have to pat down each other.

(LAUGHTER)

KLEIN: Helen Hong.

HONG: Instead of bomb-sniffing dogs, we'll have bomb-sniffing cats who don't care if that sweater was your favorite.

(LAUGHTER)

KLEIN: Adam Felber.

ADAM FELBER: After the enhanced pat-down, you are required to submit to 10 to 30 minutes of something called extreme cuddling.

(LAUGHTER)

BILL KURTIS: And if any of that happens, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.

KLEIN: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Alonzo Bodden, Helen Hong and Adam Felber. And thanks to all of you for listening. I'm Jessi Klein. I had so much fun guest hosting this show. And to all the little girls out there listening, remember, you can be anything you want as long as Peter Sagal is away.

(LAUGHTER)

KLEIN: Have a great week.

(APPLAUSE, SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)

KLEIN: This is NPR. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
