Naked at the Airport!?!

As we gear up for another holiday season, the Transportation Security Administration has added a new wrinkle: naked travel.

USA Today has just reported that the TSA has purchased “150 security machines at airport checkpoints that enable screeners to see under passengers’ clothes”. These virtual strip searches allow TSA screeners to see detailed images of passengers’ bodies. These machines have been around for a while, but it appears they have gone mainstream. This purchase will “vastly expand the use of the controversial body scanners.”

But it’s not just the program’s expansion that is raising eyebrows. TSA has always maintained that these machines are for secondary screening only, and that no one will have to undergo a virtual strip search. But now the machines will be used in place of metal detectors. Many people will likely go through them without ever knowing that there is a person in the room next door checking out their assets

I guess at the airport this is ok. Remeber 911? Anywhere else I would be against it all the way.

The question is, where am I going to keep my pot now? I usually Ace bandage it to my leg. O well, shit happens.

I wonder if I will get stopped more often now. I will most likely look like I am trying to smuggle a base ball bat in my pants. =)

Big Brother turning into peeping Uncle Tom. This really pisses me off. Given the high quality(sic) of gung ho idiots TSA has employed, what gives them the right to look at a persons junk???
Good t see ya H3ad

Bulldog11-"I guess at the airport this is ok. Remeber 911?"

Yes I remember 911. And I couldn't disagree more with your statement. If they bomb a church and they took a naked look at your goodies everytime you go there is that ok? Grocery store? Movie theater? With this type of invasive gawking, and people like you that say, "At the airport I guess it's ok" Sir, that honestly scares the shit outta me. Maybe the terrorist did win, huh? Just curious, other than your right to privacy, and the privledge we as Americans have to travel freely and unemcumbered within our own borders, what other rights or privledges would you be willing to give up in the name of "National Security"? State border checks when traveling?

Yeah... I remember 911... The one where the guys hijacked the airplane with box cutters, which were completely legal to carry on planes then.

Remember Benjamin Franklin? He said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

As a secondary screening measure, maybe...
As a quicker alternative to which one could choose to consent, sure...
As a policy which virtually strip searches every single air traveler, unacceptable.

Not that I care about nudity, I actually try to wear as little clothing as possible when passing thru airport security... It is a matter of principle concerning the continued erosion of personal privacy.

See..... now your think'n! LMFAO!!!! Ewwww.....

 

[Lil 'o Me]

No..... seriously now....... Thats jacked up isht. That is such an invasion of privacy, its not even funny. How can they get away with doing that? Im surprized that someone with some athora-tie hasn't put their foot down on this. How rediculous! And for us to not even be aware of this....... Well, I smell a huge law suit if this is used.

They've been testing these for years already. My local airport is one of the largest and most traveled in the country. It was one of them to get the first 10 that were developed. I'm pretty sure because of the first objections to it they by law have to cover genitals on the screen because of it being a blatant invasion of privacy. I went through one carrying herb tucked under by balls and had no problem. I know this was one of them because it was shaped differently and there was a person sitting at a computer screen right next to it. I think this won't be too big of an issue for us folks used to the process.

 

[resinryder]

Hide away Ball pouch. Hum,,

 

[Lil 'o Me]

How about this..... different shaped, air tight, flexible containers.... that take the shape to fit best under the nut sack, breast, female crotchal region..... etc. Hmmmm....

Naw..... I'll just get realy realy fat...... wait... I'll have to buy 2 plane tickets then!

 

[resinryder]

TSA to me....Sir, please step over here and empty your nut sack into this tray please.

 

[Lil 'o Me]

LMAO!!! Too funny!

 

[resinryder]

Scrotum totem?

 

[Lil 'o Me]

Vag Stash???

I think i saw on the news that you can refuse to go through it, but then you have to be patted down as the alternative.

 

[eddie.saw]
