The horrible thing is that this article was written EIGHT years ago, and things have only gone downhill from there.

I do have a smidgen of hope for what Nigel's been saying, they might just have crossed the line with the intrusive patdowns, and things might actually change--a bit.

Check it out, a republican from Texas is right on the money, so to speak:

Quote
"There is no evidence these new body scanners make us more secure. But there is evidence that former Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff made money hawking these full body scanners," Poe said.

"[T]he populace is giving up more rights in the name of alleged security. These body scanners are a violation of the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures ... There must be a better way to have security at airports than taking pornographic photographs of our citizens, including children, and then giving apparent kickbacks to political hacks."

Ok, so now Boston Logan airport has changed the system -- instead of realistic images of passengers, they appear more as stick figures, with any suspicious objects highlighted.

Which is interesting, because it separates the issues of realistic images (ZOMG! Someone has a picture of my penis!) and possible violations of the 4th amendment.

If people settle down because of this change, then it becomes clear that they are far more concerned about keeping nudity taboo rather than protecting their liberties.  Which is sad.

ugh lmno, you're absolutely right.



Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both

parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard

Humanity i love you because
when you're hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you're flush pride keeps

you from the pawn shops and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house

Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it's there and sitting down

on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity

i hate you

At some level the x-ray is still taking the nude photo though, it's jsut presenting it in a different format. 

Anyone concerned about the nudity aspect, I'd casually mention how long it would take a bored pervert employee to access them anyways.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Fuck you're totally right... those crafty bastards.  Someone realized that the vast majority are unconcerned with their liberties being taken away (or, like TripZip said, they would have been more outraged 9 years ago, when this all started) so much as they are afraid of everyone knowing exactly how small their cock truly is.  Dammit.

I have to take my hat off to their slimy craftiness, though... brilliant really.

QuoteNational Opt-Out day ain't gonna do shit. Obviously the proper tactic here is to submit to the invasive search and then litigate. Litigate the fuck out of that shit. Accuse the people who touched you of rape, molestation, assault, etc. etc. Sue them in civil court. Get together a thousand fondled men and women and go for a class action. Demand a bajillion googleplex dollars for emotional harm. Tie up every TSA official in depositions and whatnot for the next thirty years. Require ACT clearances and their by-state equivalents of every screener. Demand citizen review boards. Keep shitting in the same toilet until the goddamn pipes explode.

Excellent.

I think that enough energy has been focused on the potential health risks and lack of evidence that it increases security, at this point, that it won't go away on that basis alone.

At least, I hope not.

So now we'll be getting X-rayed in order to show a stick figure. Which won't actually help screeners see anything suspicious.

Oh good.
