Your nude bodies will be seen at airport (Fair or not?)

I think that this paragraph tells it all. I would much rather be scanned, than strip searched or patted down.

If looking at my naked body turns someone on, more power to 'em!

This site also suggest other factors that should be considered... http://www.rense.com/general41/airporttravelerstoget.htm

It has also occurred to me that a frequent flyer may also end up being a frequent fryer.

I've been using this same technology for years now:

You're on to something boomerang. It would be so much cheaper if all airport security personnel would be given
these glasses instead of investing and installing costly
x-ray equipment.

The radiation would be a consideration, I suppose.
My first job was taking tiny photofluorographs of hospital patients as a effort to screen for tuberculosis. Those were abandoned a year or two later as they gave what I remember as 500 x the rads of a regular 11 x 14 xray.

So, I would be interested to see if scanning does increase radiation significantly, or if it is somehow low-rad. If it does increase it, that would be a problem at least for frequent flyers and people who are already at their limit re safety.

I hope someone provides the radiation answer. If it is a high level, with as much as I fly, I should be glowing in the dark in about 6 months.

Apparently you're not familiar with the expresion "Hung like a Bear"
<harumph>

Oh, don't carry on, Bear . . . here, have a fish . . .

bears when shot are usually hung upside down.
[now there's an 'image' i do NOT want to pursue!]

I have an idea to adopt that technology!

Put them in at the clubs of America - then charge five dollars for every man or woman that wants to see what thier about to take home that night!

Why not rule out the people that only look good with thier clothes on and in a strobe light BEFORE you make a series mistake at home.

We will install them at the door - for security reasons ofcourse!!!


Seriously though - leave it up to the right wing idiots to install technology that only allows the powerful to purvey the nude! This is the same people that will veto stem cell research because they 'refuse to spend taxpayers money on destroying life' while they spend 300 billion on killing Iraqui's and other insurgents.

If nudity and pornography is such a problem in America you would think they would cease this form of security.

Let me ask this question. When a famous star walks though this machine - you don't think those pictures won't be all over the internet?

Before you answer - this is the same security that lead to pictures of Iraquis with bull whips in thier asses and Saddam Hussein in his underwear to be shipped all over the world with the click of a mouse.

Mom Indicted for Hiring Stripper for Teen


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A mother faces criminal charges after she hired a stripper to dance at her 16-year-old son's birthday party. Anette Pharris, 34, has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and involving a minor in obscene acts. The boy's father, the stripper and two others also face charges.

``I tried to do something special for my son,'' Pharris said. ``It didn't harm him.''

About 10 people under the age of 18 were at the birthday party in September, including minors who were not related to the family, authorities said.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said minors are not permitted in adult establishments.
``A person shouldn't be allowed to circumvent that law by hiring a stripper, a lady who took all her clothes off and spent a good amount of time dancing around minors,'' he said.
Anette Pharris took photos at the party and tried to have them developed at a nearby drug store. Drug store employees notified authorities, police said.
``Who are they to tell me what I can and can't show to my own children?'' the mother said.Link

Money to hire a stripper, no money for a digital camera to download to their computer.

What a world I'm living in.

If they say they feared their son was "turning homosexual" and they thought this would cure him they'd probably get away with it.

In fact, it would probably become all the rage.

What I find interesting is that authorities, who would condone a technology that could potentially "strip" anyone boarding an airplane, will prosecute a private citizen hiring someone to reveal same. Regardless of Ms Pharris's logic, which I think is "odd", the general public seems to have less of a problem with nudity than do the people whom we have "appointed" to run the government.

Which brings us to a good point. Aren't there going to be minors walking through these machines? How many of you would like your teeenage daughter going through that machine while the TSA stands there and looks?

Kleenex should be a hot commodity then....

I don't have a teenage daughter, but if I did I'd rather have her screened than pawed.

Honestly, i think the way things are done now are sufficiant. They should really worry about securing the cockpit, making it impossible to penetrate from the outside.

hmmmmm....
