Interesting development (to me, at least). Heathrow and Manchester have launched their body scanners...
Full body scanners introduced at Heathrow and Manchester airports as Lord Adonis seeks to allay privacy fears | Mail Online That's not the interesting part, of course. The first part that got my attention is the repeal of the "don't scan the youngsters" rule. Wonder where that decision will go when future generations of the BSIs are launched. The second part was that those who refuse to comply are being banned from flights. There's no... "dude, just pat me down really, really good and jam the wand in the corners" option. No full scan, no plane ride (if you're chosen). For those of you who are against this sort of thing, would you comply to catch your flight? If your 13-year-old daughter is chosen, would that make you less open to the idea? ![]() ![]() Keep in mind the folks choosing people for scanning aren't crack CIA agents with decades of experience in behavioral tendencies. This guy may actually be such an agent, but I'm guessing no... ![]() So... would you comply?

This.
But this has some ups and down. the hey we need to scan your 13 year old daughter.. i could see shit like this on the news in a few years, "Airport body scanner caught with 1,000's of images of underage children" but this might beef up airport security to a point of where it might be. Eh who the fuck knows. |

airport security in Gatwick was hilarious this january. They had another security set up before boarding the plane. Fucking long lines and delays bc 51% of people had to get their hand lugagge manually checked. This doesn't make any sense.
About those scanners.. well i personally dont give a shit if they need me to do that before boarding. BUT I'd not board the plane if they'd want to check my little sister in that crap and rather make a huge case about it in the press. People need to man up and realize that we cannot live in a 100% secure society without giving up our privacy. I rather have a 0.01% risk of being blown up on a plane, train, wherever than just having my whole life protocolized (fucking UK). I'm sick of seeing constitutions being crippled because some dude tried to blow up some plane. In the 70's we would've rioted if some crappy politician would've wanted to do 5% of what they have implemented now. We're giving up way too many rights so that politicians can say that they at least did something against it when the next plane blows up. Lets just be honest here: If someone wants to blow up a plane and if he's a smart dude, he'll ALWAYS find a way to do it. 1984 // rant end

In next years news: Terrorists have now resorted to shooting heat-guided missiles at commercial airplanes. In order to combat this, the TSA is requiring all airplanes to be escorted by two military jets. This is expected to increase ticket costs by about 200%.

Well in a news article, they are saying that the 'flaw' in the scanner is that it cannot see inside a man or woman and that recently there is intelligence that terrorists are looking to insert bombs inside their bodies!
problem creation -> reaction -> solution!

Dang. I was just about to suggest that if I were running a training cell in the Pashtun, I'd be telling my recruits to bend over. For the equipment. For the bomb stuff.

I'm a former DHS employee and I just want to say that if a person is chosen for additional screening from one of these machines it's with due cause. These machines are already serving their purpose by scaring the flying public and raising paranoia. Chances are if you think you're going to be scanned ahead of time, you wont be walking with anything artfully concealed.

Good choice. Trains for anything in North America and ships for anything overseas. Hell, you can ride the Queen Mary 2 on a transatlantic trip in just 7 days, for less than $1k, with a nice room and Internet access. I've seen the trip as low as $350 during off-peak times.

They just had an expert on a TV show here in Germany.
He was able to smuggle all parts needed to bring a plane down without the scanner even showing it. Thing is, these scanners detect differences in heat given off from your body. That is why items will show up (normally their edges), because they have a different heat diffusion from the rest of your skin. Doesn't work with anything you got in a cavity (so yeah, you can still bend over for that marihuana smuggling), and it didn't even work with items in a loose fitting pocket. I guess plastic explosive rolled out very fine and sewn into loose fitting clothes won't show up either. You are trading your privacy for lies and bullshit, not security. ::emp::

I personally have no objection to being 'scanned.' I really have nothing to hide so if some remote person sees what I look like under my clothing, why do I care?
Privacy, blah, blah, blah. If it's preventing someone from blowing up my flight, why not? I think I just value security a hell of a lot more than privacy. If they manually search my luggage, that's a huge inconvenience. But guess what, there's nothing in there that can get me in any type of trouble. In fact, whenever I'm packing my carry on, I make sure to throw in anything embarrassing I can think of to make it awkward. Why pack a a few condoms when you can pack a few boxes? etc. Chillax.....

Even if we don't account for privacy and human rights. How about getting cancer In order to generate the nude image of the human body, these machines emit terahertz photons -- high-frequency energy "particles" that can pass through clothing and body tissue. The manufacturers of such machines claim they are perfectly safe and present no health risks, but a study conducted by Boian S. Alexandrov (and colleagues) at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico showed that these terahertz waves could "...unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication." Full-body scanners used on air passengers may damage human DNA This is soft kill.

I would sport a fleshlight on my manhood and then wear a t-shirt with my aff url during the press frenzy. "Man Wearing Flashlight on his Private Parts Refused Entry. Read His Story Here." "Sex Toy Mistaken for Bomb, Man Refused Entry."
Seriously though that's retarded - at least in Canada (they're in the process of bringing them in) you will be able to refuse and opt in for a pat down instead.

1) The entire idea of 'enhanced security' for flights is illogical at best, a cover for liberty reduction and increased acceptance of the police state at worst.
2) Stupidity of airport security measures aside, I have kids, and these don't bother me for my use or theirs. If we're going to be forced to suffer through such a charade (meaning security run by people who make less than Burger Flippers), I say bring it on. Speed it up thank you very much. |

Ok so here's the win/win solution according to my mom (first time we've agreed in long time too
):Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.

If you do object to it. You have to undergo a very long and through cavity search. Could result in you missing your flight. If you do have something to hide, and you're dumb enough to step in to the thing then let the punishment fit the crime. You get blown up. The simple ideas are always the best!

I was "randomly" chosen about four years ago when i was getting on a plane to mexico...there was a few little stars next to my name on my ticket, that no one else in my family had...it was very obvious that something was special about mine, because everytime i went through a checkpoint, from the moment i was handed my ticket, til i cleared security, people were always singling be out when they were handling the tickets...so if i was not an idiot and i had something on me that i shouldn't have, i could have placed it in my brothers bag, or just swapped bags...it's not exactly a "random" check, but it's probably randomized through the computer...so i guess that's actually "more" random? |

I would to thru it though, I have nothing to hide. And I would gladly submit to an xray that may be less then desirable, if it meant it would drastically reduce the chance that someone else on the plane is going to blow me up. I mean, when it comes to life or death I would do a lot of things. |
