Airport screening
-
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?

I feel sorry for the scanner person, there are some sights that should be kept private.

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.

Agreed. Although the new scanners would probably make my life easier. Since 9/11, I haven't taken a flight where I haven't been pulled aside for secondary screening in order to validate that there are no hidden compartments or things in my prosthetic leg. I've had to drop my pants for some pretty darn good looking security. The scary part is that out of the many flights I have taken, 90% of the screeners were the ugly, bald, grumpy guy. Thankfully, when in Europe, they always had a side office for this purpose. In a couple American airports, they had stupid cubicle dividers with gaps between. The whole friggin' airport could see it there.

if the agent is a she... and ubber hot... will have to accept the old ways of using the hands to touch my leg :D
I want to die like my grandfather- asleep, not like the passengers in his car, screaming!

I got to there and thought, this guy must look like a problem.

Then I thought, poor bastard that is going to be a PITA. A few years ago in Prague, as we walked through the hand luggage scanner the operator cracked up laughing, a few of us peered at the screen to see 2 dildos outlined by the scanner. Feel for the woman who had to then pick up her bag.

I wouldn't fly, but if I truly needed to fly, I would refuse the full body scan and hope for a cute female as my dominatrix.

TSA rules specify that pat-downs are always done by the SAME gender. So put your piece away, kiddo.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)I wouldn't permit it then, I'd either be arrested, or denied onto the flight. I would be 100% uncooperative, and believe me you have no idea how stubborn I can be.
