As the resident "need to have a cause" member, I feel it's my duty to bring this up. I haven't been as interested in this until lately, because, well, I've been in Asia for almost 2 years and don't have to deal with this. But the outcry on the internet lately has been pretty intense. Many people are citing the harmful radiation (debatable, considering), but I am focusing more on the aspect of not wanting an image of my naked body available to another person with the possibility of being ridiculed for having a small penis.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

I have absolutely no faith in the TSA. I don't mind getting a little Stalin on the people from time to time, but you have to pick your battles and this one is just stupid.

I went through the body scanner last week. After the scan completed, the man received a message in his earpiece, turned to me, said, "Wow, congratulations," and shook my hand.
This isn't entirely true. Instead of saying "Congratulations" and shaking my hand, he said, "The machine couldn't see your right leg" and proceeded to rub my right leg in a highly sexual manner. |

These pics are from millimeter wave machines, they don't use X-rays. From what I reckon people aren't too worried about these. it's the "backscatter" machines that are really detailed. Feel free to browse through the more detailed ones. (NSFW) | |

It goes back to the whole trading liberties for security thing. Sure, there's a line...but I don't think this machine crosses it.
That said, assholes working behind the booth talking about or saving images...it's something that should be handled within the department through the proper channels with strict, no-nonsense discipline. |

The TSA that I've come in contact with are essentially near minimum wage mall cops. If some terrorist plot gets by the FBI or whomever, Shaniqua, Tyrone, and Guillermo of the TSA ain't gonna stop them. So now the underwear bomber crams it up his ass making this obsolete. If Al Queda wants to fly into building they probably just use a pilot or non-commercial aircraft. Goddamn iPhone is pissing me off.
Seriously, why would an organized terrorist |

Fuck this shit. I've tried like 6 times to quote/edit something and it hasn't worked. HTML is the new sanskrit.
