Would you mind having your naked body photographed and stored in a Federal database?

GK asked:


Stand by, air travelers, because the U.S. Homeland Security Department is preparing to install and test high-tech machines at airport checkpoints that will ”See Thru Clothing!”

Get ready for electronic portals known as backscatters, expected to be tested at a handful of airports this year, that use X-ray imaging technology to allow a screener to scan a body. And yes, the body image is detailed. Let’s not be coy here, ladies and gentlemen: ”Well, you’ll see basically everything,” said Bill Scannell, a privacy advocate and technology consultant. ”It shows nipples. It shows the clear outline of genitals.”

    my body looks better naked than clothed, not that this is saying much. But I DO have a rather large man part…

    That would tick me off like no other. I am not a criminal and no one has the right to treat me like one, not even Homeland Security. My body is my own and no one else’s business, and for them to just decide they can look at every inch of it without me doing anything wrong, they have a serious problem. I have never ridden in an airplane, I’ve always wanted to. But if it would mean that everyone and their hamster and their hamster’s furby involved in Homeland security would see me, then forget it, I’ll stick with driving only.

    No I don’t mind. I am an exhibitionist at heart anyways. I always love an opportunity to make a party of it. Besides if it means I have less worry about getting shot on a plane then cool.

    Of course getting me on a plane is similar to trying to get a alligator to go to church. It just seems unnatural and I don’t like doing it. *smiles*
