New airport scans could expose travelers
Screeners may get x-ray vision

Quote:
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]

[/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

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.

[/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
