I have just found out that various governments are going to introduce body scanners at major airports. I know that the terrorist threat has to be taken seriously but, fuck sake, I am sick to death of arriving at an airport 2 hours before boarding to have to endure the "take your shoes off, remove your belt, coat whatever, open your laptop case" etc. So I'm standing there holding on to my clothing for dear life so that it doesn't land in a heap round my ankles while trying to put my stuff in those fucking ridiculous little white trays while the security officers are looking at me with total disdain. The thought of passing through a boby scanner on top of all that.............aghhhhhh!
I don't think its as bad as the hype..It shows the outline of your body, not like a straight up see-through-your-clothes photograph. A great innovation for airline security in my opinion
It's not as clear as a photograph, but it will clearly show the outline of your genitals. Some men will start wearing signs on their clothing that say "I'm a grower not a shower." When they tell you that they have new technology that will blur out the naughty bits, they are lying, because otherwise how could they detect stuff kept right behind the testicles? When I smuggled ganga back from Jamaica, that's where I put it. We will have to trust the government that they will not keep any copies of the images. Trust the government. Trust the government. Trust the government.
I know, its crazy. Can't blame them for being over protective though, people these days are fucked. Although... I totally feel its a complete violation of privacy.
You smuggled Jamaican gang back behind your balls? People do that actually do that?? :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5: you're my new best friend.
I truly believe this is inevitable, no matter how people feel about it. They may give you the option of a pat-down, but this pat-down will be way more intimate than most people would like. Your genital area will have to be squeezed quite firmly thru your clothes, and if they feel anything that doesn't feel like genitals, they will probably strip you naked to see.
Well, yes, I did this several times and holy shit this was the finest herb I ever had. I could fit a whole ounce behind my balls. But hey, this was before the War On Some Drugs got into full swing. There were no dogs. It was back in the 70's. I don't recommend doing this today.
That's me! The technicians will be: :rofl: Maybe I can start carrying a note from my wife. The way I understand the current technology, they will have no way to link the images to your name. And if they did archive the images with your name on them, what could they use them for? I can't think of a second use that would be bad news for me, right off the top of my head. I have also heard that the scanner operator is going to be inside a booth where he cannot see the faces of the passengers being screened. This should make the whole experience more professional and impersonal.
I hope so but it's still going to be very embarrassing for the majority of passengers. I know that it's being said that that it is just going to be a general outline but c'mon!
