These are now going to be used in 10 aiports around the country. I find this to be very disturbing. Oh, and btw, how can I get a job with the TSA?  In all seriousness, though, TSA is a god damn joke. |

yeah supposedly you'll be able to see everything. I was reading comments on this somewhere and a guy said: "Man I'm gonna work up a huge boner before I go into the thing, and see what they say"

If they already get to see the rest of me, I don't see what the point of hiding my face is. I know they think it will provide us with a sense of being anonymous, but really by that point, I think I'm beyond being humiliated any further.

it says you'd get the choice of the scan or the traditional pat-down.
i think i'd choose the latter. i agree its too personal and creepy. --------------------  |

yeah it'd be fun to write notes on yourself and see if they see them.
write "I'M A TURRURISST!" with a magic marker on your chest |

i saw the pics and they arent colored, so i dont think they'd see any colorings on your body, but what do i know.
would it even be possible to see colors through your clothes anyway?? -------------------- |

Yeah, I just looked up the pics. Not as bad as I imagined, but still...
I just see this as a violation of our rights |

I like this article because it tells you how to conceal stuff still....heh
http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/...yscan06.art.htm QUOTE The scanners do a good job seeing under clothing but cannot see through plastic or rubber materials that resemble skin, said Peter Siegel, a senior scientist at the California Institute of Technology. "You probably could find very common materials that you could wrap around you that would effectively obscure things," Siegel said. QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Jun 12 2008, 11:05 AM) |

ugh... more reason to hate the TSA.
If I am not in a hurry I intentionally go through security and claim I do not have ID. Now they're putting a stop to that, saying that people can go through security without ID but those that have ID and claim not to will not be allowed through. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
