Airline Passenger: Will Go Through Body Scan and 'Not Think Twice'

Congress is talking about spending millions for body scan image security devices at airports following the Christmas bombing attempt. The image is often called a virtual 'strip search,' but most passengers say they'd deal with the inconvenience. (Dec. 30)

It'll work great until terrorists replace butt cheeks with surgical implants filled with a liquid high explosive instead of saline. It'll be impossible to know whether their ass is filled with liquid explosive or saline.

The fact that people are just okay with this is disturbing to me. "Well, we already have cameras everywhere, so.." Um.. is that not a problem for you either? Stay afraid people, it's just what they want.

Its not a "body scanner" its a strip search machine.

"have you even seen what the fucking scans look like? its like a picture of a clay-molded god damn fucking barbie doll, for Christs sake:

The TSA's images are not full size, or full resolution, and have had their white balance and contrast messed with.

[spiralfunhappytime23]

yup. dude jumps on a plane without a passport so lets just take naked pictures of everyone! makes sense to me... Ever hear of child porn laws? Ever heard of scanning for trace materials in airports? no makes more sense to invade privacy.

The CIA invented al Qaeda. If they want to blow up a plane they will blow up a plane and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it. The sheeple can't wait to give up all their freedoms. How's that shoe polish taste?

[XcaptainXobliviousX]

its an imaging device, not a freakin ipod xD

anyways, why the hell do you keep throwing that god damn buzz word around? please stop using the word sheep in reference to people, it makes you look less intelligent than you obviously are. =P

anyways, i WILL have fun with that. I'm not sure how you've derived that analogy, as adue to the fact that they're domesticated cattle. is America the wolf? because im pretty sure the sheep only run "towards" the shepherd xD

[TLHS]

@XcaptainXobliviousX Bah! no one said anything about being turned on by the images. They are monitored on a computer regardless and we all know computers store images. technophobe!? Bah! This technology is better suited for prisons not the general public. Leave if you wish your free to do that. However I'm staying and fighting for my liberties and freedoms guaranteed to me by our forefathers as they would. running rather than fighting IS exactly what sheep do. Have fun with that. 8)

[XcaptainXobliviousX]

anyways, if you don't like the country, protest!

or leave. that's what I'm doing, anyways. honestly, i don't have the patience for America anymore. i don't like ANY of the security measures.

this one bothers me the least, certainly. its harmless and fast. the images aren't even saved on the god damn machine, it has no dedicated memory for that sort of thing.

but it bothers the shit outa me too. anyways, take the time to not be a douche next time you post anything on the internet.

[XcaptainXobliviousX]

yeah.

they look like barbies xD

id have to be a freakin cylon for that shit to turn me on, or offend me, for that matter, in any way.

anyways, i wasn't spoon fed anything. i saw a picture of one of the scans. that was my opinion it stands. the wave scanner & the Backscatter X-ray, quality is shite.

you sound like a bit of a technophobe, to me. "data bits of me"? is that really the epitome of your fears? xD and I'M the sheep, roffle.

[TLHS]

@XcaptainXobliviousX Your a fucking sheep if you believe the BS they are spoon feeding you. Clay molded? looks like the real deal in this vid. watch?v=gvvPqcDlams&feature=re­lated

The kid at 1:12 is exactly right. I'd rathe have bits of me feeding the fish than to have data bits of me on the net.
