Transportation Security Administration (TSA) undated handout image shows a composite of 4 separate scans, a female in the left two and a male in the right two, from a whole body scan machine, or millimeter wave machine being used at a security check point at the Salt Lake International Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah. The new machine developed by New York based L3 Communications is in use for the first time today by passengers and takes a whole body scan penetrating clothing. This is a pilot program by the TSA to test the machines in a live setting for the first time at Salt Lake International Airport March 10, 2009.

1. When they used that scan on me, I was arrested

For carrying a large piece of junk in my pants.




When in doubt, go for the subtle joke!

[Ilsa]

3. Orrex should be required to fly naked. Just to be sure he isn't packing

anything too dangerous.

[trotsky]

24. He'd have to pay extra though...

for his oversized carry-on.

[Orrex]

27. I just book the seat next to me for my friend

Hugh Johnson.

11. Lucky they didn't charge you with possession of rape tools

;-)

2. How do we check on this? Is there a link?

4. I'll bet the TSA flunkies are just salivating over this

Just imagine the thrill they'll get doing this to a ten-year-old girl or boy! A republican's dream!

[DCKit]

6. They're not ALL pedo's.

Most of them just get off abusing their authoritay and terrorizing the flying public.

7. I, for one, welcome our new peeping-Tom overlords.

Don't you feel safer, now?

[11 Bravo]

8. Damn, look at the abs on that woman!

[mikeytherat]

10. My first thought, too. Someone's been doing her crunches.

9. Here's the wikipedia article on it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimeter_wave_scanner

And a related technology which accomplishes the same thing...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_X-ray

With another rather revealing image showing the output of these devices.

I'll call it what it is: an electronic strip search.

:mad:

12. We've got armadillos in our trousers!

[mikeytherat]

14. Do you have any artificial plates or limbs?

No. Not really.

13. Good Lord, I can see her beaver!

What kind of training do I need to land a job at the airport?

[underpants]

16. and the guy

talk about low hanging fruit

:wow:

[Blue_In_AK]

15. This is incredibly intrusive.

I just don't see the need for this.

[undergroundpanther]

21. no we don't need it

But pervs in power think they need it,just like men ignoring the rates of human trafficking think they NEED porn.

Need,want and addiction have become very confused in this country

Power,abuse,domination and Porn have similarities.This scan is just another way to exploit bodies and the people inside the bodies psychologically and emotionally. Abusers take the intimate, the private, of a person they expose it ,invade it and make it a public show to further dis-empower people.I hate authoritarians.

Whoever exterminated all these hecatombs of people, did not take into account, and perhaps had no way of knowing that, having passed through the fire they would gain a lasting power which would combine with the power of those still living. This power draws us, who are here addressing you by letter, out into a shrieking whirlwind where no memorial ceremonies with talking, singing, drinking and laughing presidents and chancellors will be able to find us.

22. I'm the kind of person, who

even back in my hippie days 40 years ago, was so modest that I wouldn't disrobe at a nude beach -- even when everybody around me was butt naked. I'm not ashamed of my body -- I still look pretty good for a 62-year-old -- but I want a choice as to whom I show it to. The TSA doesn't fit in that category.

[undergroundpanther]

23. That is true empowerment!

The heart of TRUE feminism. And it is beautiful to know it is still around.Far more rare and beautiful than most here will ever comprehend.Thank you for being yourself while others who may have not wanted to do it, still disrobed like lemmings on command thinking it was all about sexual freedom.
:loveya:

17. Oh, that can't be good for the 'ole sperm count.

18. When they scan a 6 year old, we can take the TSA to court for child pornography.

Production of.

[Uncle Joe]

19. Just another death spasm from the killing of privacy. n/t

20. Thank you for not releasing Limbaugh's scan

25. Airport strip scanners: A *chalk outline*? Not bloody likely.

"Backscatter" X-Ray Screening Technology


TSA Promises Privacy For Subjects Of Clothing-Penetrating Scans, October 11, 2007

But, don't worry... be happy:

TSA officials said Friday they had worked with industry specialists to blur any images of body parts generated by the scan, and likened the resulting picture to
"a chalk outline" of a person.

Michael Chertoff is behind all of this. In February, 2005 he became DHS head.

Airport Screeners Could Get X-Rated X-Ray Views, May 24, 2005











A *chalk outline*? Not bloody likely.



While we are being stripped at airports all over the country under the old Bush Junta Rules, only a fraction of luggage in the holds of the airlines is checked thoroughly.


It's time to demand that this wanton invasion of our privacy end, and END NOW.

26. Larry "Wide Stance" Craig now has a new hangout.

Instead of train station rest rooms, you will now find him in close proximity to airport body scan machines.

And of course, you understand he's on a Congressional fact finding mission. :eyes:
