Dear god!

[skoker]

I can't believe this!

[Travis]

What exactly can't you believe?  That people are getting up in arms about this, or that the airlines are doing this now?

[Felix/FFDS]

It's not the airlines, it's the TSA.

All for your safety.


However, when I go through that machine, I generally hear either laughter or sounds of retching....

I would have fun with it...you know, add some extra parts or something, test their bearing  :D

Not naked but "skin close". I really don't mind though.

I went into a nuclear power plant once, 20 some odd years ago. The security was EXTREMELY tight and the guards would frisk you. The pat down was darn near a full body cavity search by the way they "grabbed" men.

One man that had obviously been through the pat down before came prepared. This black lady started the pat down and when she "grabbed" a handful. Her eyes got as big as saucers. She looked at the guy and said, "Just what do you have in your pants?!" He looked down and said, "What do you think you've got a death grip on?" She replied, "If it's what I think it is, your not going into containment, your coming home with me!" He'd stuck a foot long cucumber down the front of his pants. We all laughed our a$$s off.

When I got up to be patted down, I told her that I was married (my ex) and that I'd left my vegetable at home....

It doesn't bother me. Beats a real strip search, or knowing someone may have brought a (non-metallic) weapon aboard. Any abuse of the images would be dealt with the same way as abuse of medical imaging (or at least it should be). I don't think the display is visible to everyone, either.

And the problem with that is????

I don't get people who complain that our privacy is constantly being invaded...I'd rather go through one of these machines than be involved with an incident mid flight. In fact the only people who come of worse from these things is people wanting to bring stuff they shouldn't onto planes.

It's like google streetview all over again

A lot of fuss over nothing.  The new technology, you can't see much of anything in the image.  The original backscatter type technology you could see a lot more of the body, but it was still just a white blob.

Overall, I could careless, but one thing does trouble me. If they are scanning children, wouldn't that break child porn laws? That and it would make for a pedophile paradise....

I mean do the security companies have a way to weed out perverts and keep them from being hired?  :-/

You hear about it all the time about child molesters and pedophiles making it past background checks and ending up as teachers, coaches and priest.  :-/

It will be interesting to see what happens in the future..... :-/

I can't believe this!

Neither I

Just kidding Bro!!!  :D I though you were older  :)

Well to, be honest we are all the same ,I'm not shame to show me naked , and IF the things about terrorism turns worse maybe we all we would have to take all our clothe off ,and be naked inside the plane ..its just my opinion

[Romulus111VADT]

You decide-




The Outer Limits.....

[Wing Nut]

The last time I went through one of those, I heard someone yell 'What the hell is that!?  You can take that either way...

When I went to visit my uncles prison a few years back with the wife (he is the Governor, not an inmate I hasten to add), we had to have a shake-down. I was approached by a female warder who asked if I had any objection to being searched by a woman, I said I didn't but my wife might
