    If your that worried about some TSA guards seeing a pseudo-image of your body, maybe you should hit the gym a little more often...

    It is rather the other way around - sane people don't need narcotics in first place, they value a clear mind too much.

    No, my argument is that sane people value the clear mind too much to use narcotics. And acutally, not only a clear mind but also their health altogether.
