Full Body Scanners Installed In 10 US Airports 454
Lapzilla brings word that airports around the US are beginning to use a new type of body-scanning machine which records pictures of travelers underneath their clothing. The process takes roughly 30 seconds, and the person viewing the pictures is located in a separate room. We've discussed similar scanners in the past. From USAToday:
"[Barry Steinhardt, head of the ACLU technology project] said passengers would be alarmed if they saw the image of their body. 'It all seems very clinical and non-threatening -- you go through this portal and don't have any idea what's at the other end,' he said. Passengers scanned in Baltimore said they did not know what the scanner did and were not told why they were directed into the booth. Magazine-sized signs are posted around the checkpoint explaining the scanners, but passengers said they did not notice them."

Second thing:
Wonder if it would be legal to sell a line of rubberized scan-proof lingerie?

Unless you look foreign. Then you'll fly down south for a nice vacation somewhere sunny. Like Cuba.

Add to that the fact that the average airline seat was designed to fit the human body perfectly... by testing the fit against a one-armed, one-legged midget with a fetish for being confined.

You will be out of there in 3 seconds flat.
I had to go through the Lubbock TX airport. I was wearing a superqueer shirt, and when they pulled me aside, I was like sure honey, but are you gonna buy me dinner first? Blink-blink.... he chuckled nervously at which point I said, well if you want to do a full body cavity search would you mind if I brought BF in here to watch?
