Strip searches for everybody
Hey, if you've got nothing to hide, there's no reason you shouldn't want to appear naked before strangers.



This image is of TSA's director of their security laboratory Susan Halloway. Apparently, she's not self conscious about us seeing her bust size and camel-toe, and I guess that's ok for her. Do you think anyone else is going to be thrilled about what might be the most invasive search yet? Oh, but don't worry, they're concerned too.

Ms Hallowell said the radiation dosage is comparable to sunshine but she accepts that passengers might not like the idea of staff seeing them naked.

The agency is trying to find a way to modify the machines with an electronic fig leaf - programming that fuzzes out sensitive body parts or distorts the body.


That's great, so at best you can expect to have your nethers fuzzed out like some junky exposing themselves on cops.

Can we have a new government yet?

I've never really cared for clothing as a social construct. This may take us a little closer to being able to walk around the block with sagging parts hanging free.

And, backscattering prepubescent children will be the only acceptable occupation for pedophiles. So, I think there's therapeutic potential there.
