Makes one wonder why anyone would support these items when it seems that TSA has sick fucks working for them... even without the sick fuck aspect of it still wrong on a number of other levels.

It's totally ridiculous. The body scanners weren't supposed to have a file save feature. Guess what.

I was scanned by one of those at DFW a few weeks ago. I didn't realize it at first. My mind was somewhere else and I was just following instructions: "Step over here. Face that direction." Then I was like, "Hey ... is this one of those ..." Then it was over.

A few minutes later I was good and annoyed. I think I might have objected if I'd known what it was sooner.

Yeah. It's intrusive and quite frankly, not necessary at all.

It is just outright wrong and I will refuse to go into the scanner. The day they don't let you refuse anymore is the day I stop flying.

I don't think I can exaggerate the issue enough. If these go nationwide, we WILL be arresting people and finding these pics on their personal PCs. We WILL have stored pics in these things of underage kids. We WILL be seeing sites with pics of people, famous or not, who will be identified.

I don't like the idea of anyone seeing me nude that I don't want them to, but I can deal with it. My issue is my family and friends. How pissed would anyone be, finding a site where a nude pic of your 10-year-old daughter / niece / sister is being shown and her entire school knows it's her? It WILL happen.

Yeah, I'll just ask for the manual pat down and well my kids just won't travel by plane. Now where are those trains Obama was talking about? I kid, I kid ;)

I'll be flying out of DFW again in a couple of months. This time, I'll be ready for them! Mwuahahahaha!

[Allison]

Oh, and if any TSA officials are reading this, the "Mwuahahahaha" should in no way be interpreted as a threat of any form to any individual, individuals, or place. A polite "No thank you," is all I have in mind. :D
