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.

Today Reddit has been bombarding CNN with the following tweet:

Quote:

@CNN Mr. President: Would you send Michelle/Sasha/Malia through TSA screening? Naked photos or invasive genital groping, you choose.

Thousands of people are doing this currently, not to mention all the other people who will likely jump on the bandwagon when they see their twitfriends talking about it, so I'd be surprised if CNN didn't pick up on it. Not that it matters, seeing as how it's a shit news website.

This isn't just internet vigilantism, though. People from all over are standing out against it and opting for the "pat down". I know I certainly will if I am ever subject to it.

I want to see somenone get patted down while in the scanner. Airport porn sounds sexy.

angry pancake · 11-16-2010, 12:06 PM

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.

Guys, it's the fucking POINT! It's infringing on their FUCKING LIBERTIES.

I figured it might come to this, as I was initially surprised by the blobby, nondetailed pictures as well, but the point of the article is that they lied about the possibility of the photos being saved/distributed, not that the pictures are sexy and revealing.

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.

ninjaface · 11-16-2010, 10:48 PM

I'd be more worried about the possible health risk. If I am not mistaken, there are two different kinds of machines they use, each emitting a different kind of radiation.

Ironic Mustache · 11-16-2010, 11:09 PM

Is there no way to lead vest these bitches up and minimize the already minute exposure?

Orgazmo · 11-16-2010, 11:10 PM

WHAT ABOUT THE GUNS BEHIND THE LEAD, YOU IDIOT?

Well the images are going to be saved, to be used as evidence if something goes wrong.

Well you've made it painfully clear that I won't be in charge of defenses. But I'd be careful who you call an idiot though. I know people on high places. Reptilian places....

I meant distributing...or doing whatever they're not supposed to do.

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
