The New Price of “Security”? – A Picture of My Wang

Travel

And I don’t mean the archaic computer brand. In what has been touted as “enhanced security” but in truth probably amounts to clever lobbying the Transportation Security Administration has installed what are being called “body scanners” in ten airports across the U.S. with more installations coming in the near future.

These body scanners take pictures of people beneath their clothing. I’m wondering if these were purchased from ads in the backs of comic books . Yes, the images are detailed, showing clearly the gender and “You can actually see the sweat on someone’s back” says James Schear, the TSA security director at Baltimore-Washington International Airport where two of these scanners are currently installed.

Allegedly, privacy is protected by blurring of the face of the person who is being photographed, and currently, only random people are being selected for scanning.

I’m wondering if the more well endowed women will have a higher rate of being picked at “random”?

Got something to say? Leave a comment below.
