Airport Body Scanners Revisited: Would You Comply?

I personally have no objection to being 'scanned.' I really have nothing to hide so if some remote person sees what I look like under my clothing, why do I care?

Privacy, blah, blah, blah. If it's preventing someone from blowing up my flight, why not? I think I just value security a hell of a lot more than privacy. If they manually search my luggage, that's a huge inconvenience. But guess what, there's nothing in there that can get me in any type of trouble. In fact, whenever I'm packing my carry on, I make sure to throw in anything embarrassing I can think of to make it awkward. Why pack a a few condoms when you can pack a few boxes? etc.

Chillax.....

No wonder we have the safest airline lol.


(CBS) What’s the safest airline in the world?

There's no question. It's El Al, Israel’s national airline. :thumbsup:

What’s the safest airport? Ben Gurion, Israel’s international airport. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

It's ironic, when you figure that Israeli aviation has been the single most desirable target for terrorists since the 1960s. Correspondent Bob Simon reports.

What do the Israelis do that the Americans don’t do? Well, they’ve had sky marshals since the 1960s. And racial profiling. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sure thing they can see my naughty bits if they want wtf do I care. Probably they don't want to see them anyway though :D

One day we're all going to have to fly naked after after a long wait while we ingest lots of laxatives.
 
One of the reasons I went into internet marketing was to avoid plane travel. I flew a lot on business in the early 2000s around the time of 9/11.

It sucked back then. I can't imagine what's like now.

Even if we don't account for privacy and human rights. How about getting cancer

In order to generate the nude image of the human body, these machines emit terahertz photons -- high-frequency energy "particles" that can pass through clothing and body tissue.

The manufacturers of such machines claim they are perfectly safe and present no health risks, but a study conducted by Boian S. Alexandrov (and colleagues) at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico showed that these terahertz waves could "...unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication."

Full-body scanners used on air passengers may damage human DNA

This is soft kill.
 
I would sport a fleshlight on my manhood and then wear a t-shirt with my aff url during the press frenzy. "Man Wearing Flashlight on his Private Parts Refused Entry. Read His Story Here." "Sex Toy Mistaken for Bomb, Man Refused Entry."

Seriously though that's retarded - at least in Canada (they're in the process of bringing them in) you will be able to refuse and opt in for a pat down instead.

Well in a news article, they are saying that the 'flaw' in the scanner is that it cannot see inside a man or woman and that recently there is intelligence that terrorists are looking to insert bombs inside their bodies!

problem creation -> reaction -> solution!

Dang. I was just about to suggest that if I were running a training cell in the Pashtun, I'd be telling my recruits to bend over. For the equipment. For the bomb stuff.

It's already been done. Don't you guys read the news? Saudi terrorist stuck a bomb up his ass that was cell phone detonated as he tried to "ass"assinate the Saudi deputy "interior" minister (oh the sweet irony).

Internal Bomb – Suicide Bomber Hid Explosives Inside His Body : Homeland Security News

I'm actually kind of surprised planes aren't falling out of the skies.
 
1) The entire idea of 'enhanced security' for flights is illogical at best, a cover for liberty reduction and increased acceptance of the police state at worst.

2) Stupidity of airport security measures aside, I have kids, and these don't bother me for my use or theirs. If we're going to be forced to suffer through such a charade (meaning security run by people who make less than Burger Flippers), I say bring it on. Speed it up thank you very much.
 
Ok so here's the win/win solution according to my mom (first time we've agreed in long time too :D ):

Have a booth that you can step into
that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device
you may have on you.

I like it! If you've nothing to hide you wouldn't object to it. On the plane you go.

If you do object to it. You have to undergo a very long and through cavity search. Could result in you missing your flight.

If you do have something to hide, and you're dumb enough to step in to the thing then let the punishment fit the crime. You get blown up.

The simple ideas are always the best! :2drinkspit:

what about the unknown explosive devices? at least now they see something suspicious they investigate.



I was "randomly" chosen about four years ago when i was getting on a plane to mexico...there was a few little stars next to my name on my ticket, that no one else in my family had...it was very obvious that something was special about mine, because everytime i went through a checkpoint, from the moment i was handed my ticket, til i cleared security, people were always singling be out when they were handling the tickets...so if i was not an idiot and i had something on me that i shouldn't have, i could have placed it in my brothers bag, or just swapped bags...it's not exactly a "random" check, but it's probably randomized through the computer...so i guess that's actually "more" random?
 
I wonder how long it will take before a market for scanner porn/nudity fetish is established.
 
So what if some dude I can't see and will never see again gets a view of my schlong. People are too timid and nervous about shit like this. I may feel a little intimidated about him seeing my tits though

So, if I want to kill you (I like you very much, darling, I'm just making an example), all I have to do is place some explosive in your clothes without you knowing and let the airport security do the rest :D?

LOL well, perhaps thats not the best solution. :)


I would to thru it though, I have nothing to hide. And I would gladly submit to an xray that may be less then desirable, if it meant it would drastically reduce the chance that someone else on the plane is going to blow me up. I mean, when it comes to life or death I would do a lot of things.
