"Sure. Ya want me to bend over, too?"

Full body scanners go mainstream at BWI and National. Coming soon everywhere.

How long until some kid sews a pipe bomb in his winkie and we all get three wanks before we of the penile persuasion can board?

Where does this intrusive shit END? How much do we have to give up? Who gets rich from this?

Full Body Scans At Reagan National And BWI Airports


LINTHICUM, Md. (WUSA) -- The imaging technology in operation at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport screens passengers for weapons, explosives and other objects concealed under layers of clothing without physical contact.

Some air travelers don't mind the extra layer of security in place. "I think I would rather go through the scanner, I prefer not to be patted down so I think simpler is always better," said Jeff Petters.

The full body x-ray scanner is part of 450 new machines that are being deployed across the country. The full body scanners have started screening passengers for hard to detect explosives. A heightened threat that has forced some passengers to adjust.

Gene Dragotta said , "I have three daughters and a wife, I know all four would have a difficult time with it. The issues are privacy, especially if you are going to the same airport all the time, the same people see you, you know, and some of these pictures have made it on to the internet, just Google it."

Air travelers can opt out of the full body scans, but those who do will be subjected to physical pat downs.

1. If kids get the full body scan, isn't that child pornography?

[Stinky The Clown]

2. The article quotes an Orthodox Jew who says this is offensively intrusive

Those who don't want a scan can opt for a pat down by a person in a too-tight uniform wearing rubber gloves "for your protection."

Can they fondle kids, too?

4. no

it requires lascivious exhibition or the intent to satisfy one's lust.

Just plain old naked pic isn't per se child porn by itself. It gets you a long way there don't get me wrong, but in this situation, no it isn't child porn.

3. EVERYONE who doesn't agree with this should opt for the pat down and follow up with a letter to TSA

expressing concern over the invasion of privacy. If enough air travelers complain the TSA will be forced to acknowledge that there is an issue.

They rigged the test and got the result they wanted: few complaints. Why do I say they rigged it? Here's an example. The test machine at San Francisco International was placed in the international terminal, where many passengers are foreign nationals willing to go along with anything rather than be detained by the TSA.
