Airport screening
-
For a laugh I guess I am but I don't think anyone is laughing!! :-O More times than not when I am going through screening at an airport I am more concerned with taking off my damn shoes than if they are scanning my fat ass! Do my feet stink or are those the stinky feet of the über hot chick behind me? Am I gonna keel over when I try and lace up my sneakers after going through the check point.

body scanner or "TSA agents will use the front of their hands in searches, and the new process will include an agent running his or her hand up the inside of a passenger's leg." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39889732/ns/travel-news/[^] I don't which options I should choose.
Annoyances... I don't really care about the privacy aspects of the body scanners, but from what I hear, the airports around me have installed the X-ray ones instead of the safer millimeter-wave ones, so I was going to opt for a pat-down if I was selected... So now my choices are risking skin cancer or being groped by some TSA agent (And contrary to the other branch of this thread, they always do same-sex pat-downs)...
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)I agree. I was actually just trying to be funny but Harry seems to want to respond to all of my comments like I was serious. I flew into Norfolk for work last month and I was quite surprised by the groping I got from the TSA dude. I almost asked him if he wanted me to turn my head and cough but then I though better of it! :)

I've been lucky so far... I fly a few times a year, on average, and I've never been pulled aside for "secondary screening." Guess I just don't look scary enough :)

This is a false dichotomy, there is the option not to fly and the option for the government not to implement intrusive tests. You know, just to piss on any logical fallacies. :-) I liked your PSA BTW, you got my conceptual 5-vote.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)What a good little sheep you are. Nice and docile, just the way they like them. Owned and subservient. If they commanded a mandatory vaccine on your ass after the checkpoint you would take it.

I feel sorry for the scanner person, there are some sights that should be kept private.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

But if the body scanners are like the UK, the images are checked by a person in another room. So you'll never know if its a hot bird or a fat bald bloke
As barmey as a sack of badgers Dude, if I knew what I was doing in life, I'd be rich, retired, dating a supermodel and laughing at the rest of you from the sidelines.

They can't be very useful scanners then :-)

And what exactly would you do, if you had enough money to travel, and actually had friends or family whose basement you didn't live in? Come on, let's hear it... Would you bring a weapon and go postal in the airport? Would you drive instead, even if your destination was across the Atlantic? Or wait... I know, you're too good to travel, right? I predict a badly-planned speech about how "real Americans" have everything they need in their hometown.

Why not... They only share the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. On second thought.... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
