EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (AP) -- A scanner the government is testing for airport screening reveals too much more than meets the eye to be comfortable for most passengers.

As if I didn't like flying enough. If this goes into use, I will stop flying all together, meaning I won't get to visit Europe anymore :(

If it makes you feel any better, the article says they are trying to blur out the...naughty bits ;)

I guess it is a bit too intimate. I don't want anyone searching my body for my hidden package [img]tongue.gif[/img]

</font>[/QUOTE]Nope it doesn't. I think this goes over the top in invading my right to privacy. Plus, I don't care how safe they claim it is. How many other products did our gov't swear was safe only to have it turn out years later that it caused cancer or other diseases.
Now apparently I need to stay away from Xen and Horatio :D :D

The radiation part I would worry about..as for your naughty bits being oogled...I would hope that adults could get over that (guess my nudist streak is showing) but to be sure no one sneaked an ak-47 or a hand grenade on the plane..I think its worth the exposure.....now where do I sign up to be a part time screener?

i don't see what all the fuss is. if i had my picture taken in that i'd want the picture framed so i could hang it on my wall [img]smile.gif[/img] ofcoarse, everyone always did say i was a little weird.


*tip of the day*(for perverts)
also, hypnotism would work much better to see people naked. i mean it would be damn hard to get someone into one of thos infernal machines. wait till they bring them out in glasses form.

</font>[/QUOTE]Well for starters, because you ate all the apple pie without sharing any with me!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Also, because sounds like you two will be getting one of those machines, and since I don't wanna go through one, I shall stay away :D

No. I still have some apple pie in the fridge.Goes grab some apple pie for harleyquinn.

I only say those things that people will think that i am "normal". They think they are normal. And if i would not say those things they would kill me.

<font color=green>I tell you what i would totally not care about the whole xray thing. cause once women saw me like that it would be impossible for them to resist me. also if you think about it the pictures might be like total recall where all you saw was the bones and not the skin. If you think about it an xray only takes limitied pictures of the skin to where it isn't noticable. i wouldn't care if it meant aircraft safety.</font>

Rokenn 06-26-2003 02:34 PM

But think of all the mental truama claims that airport security people will be filing after having to stare at naked people all day [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Bungleau 06-26-2003 02:50 PM

You could still take a ship to Europe, harleyquinn, and enjoy the travel. You don't have to stay away forever.

And the example in the article shows that it stops at the skin level. Doesn't go through into bones like Total Recall. If it did, that would probably be more acceptible.

Although I can see the late night commercials now... right after Girls Gone Wild, it will be Tourists on Tape :D
