Nice job “privacy advocates”. Because we want to respect the privacy of a few Muslims we all get to undergo this. On the upside? Someone at TSA is gonna get to look at your wimmins Abdullah. Chew on that. Thank Gaia that wasn’t a picture of John Napolitano. I have a feeling he has a big gun.
I think I will drive everywhere from now on.
OK…maybe I’m wrong here but I’m just asking if anyone else is disturbed that this woman looks like a teenage boy with breasts? Why is it that the so-called ideal woman has no hips and shoulders like a man? Is this Iggy Pop with implants? Not that this woman may not be attractive. Not that every woman has to be zoftig with Sophia Loren proportions either.
So yeah, where in the world are the feminists now with their cries about right to privacy and hands off my body and all that?
Thank you, CW. On the set-list for the return of Tyrone’s Intervention on 1/25 (Club Good Hurt for those LA-area readers): “Whole Lotta Rosie,” followed by one of my favorite originals, “Meat on the Bone.”
I’m wondering if traveling by train will gain support. Also, what about children? Will they make your kids go into one of these? I read something about how the scanners violate child pornography laws.
Finally, something national security related Hollywood can support. Oh, wait. Violate child porn laws? Never mind…
Child pornography laws, like this situation, are a bit cockeyed. I’ve read of one case–perhaps more than one–of a minor being arrested for sending pictures of themselves. I kid you not.
I actually love that. I love that my boys could be arrested for receiving an inappropriate pic of a girl, or my girl could be arrested for sending one to a boy. Sometimes common sense won’t stop you, but jail time might, cause I ain’t bailing you out.
Except that they end with a felony on their record and on a sex offender registry.
I think it would be fitter punishment to have the show them all the internet sites their pictures and/or videos popped up.
correction: to show them all the internet sites their pictures and/or videos popped up on.
Ok so the felony charge and registration as sex offender for life is a bit over the top. There should be a little more nuance in the law. God knows there is plenty in other laws.
Maybe it sounds cold, but I’ve been very clear with my children, sometimes you get the worst possible punishment the very first time you break the rule. We started with Adam and Eve. The very first time they ate of the tree, they were sent out forever and we all inherited their sin. My oldest at 6 pointed out that that didn’t seem fair and all the rest have questioned it in their own time too. My unfailing answer is that while it doesn’t seem fair, it’s the way life is. Sometimes you get away with stuff for a long time, but there are plenty of times when the very first time you use drugs, you get a bad batch and die. Or you are speeding somewhere for the first time and a kid on a bike pulls in front of you. Or you have sex and end up with a life long disease. When you decide to do it your own way, that’s the chance you take. I can’t protect them from all their stupid, I got my own to deal with.
Who knew I would have to wear a lead-lined burka to go through an airport security point?
What is that black thing on her hip?
Jen in OK
Belt buckle.
Great now we’re going to have all the male TSA screeners “randomly selecting” every attractive female traveler. If they pull aside the Future Mrs. V for one of these screenings you will probably see me on the news.
Time to break out the lead lined Sponge Bob boxers!
Yes, but, does it see through burquas?
Maybe if one of these machines was placed in the Whitehouse, the left would finally be able to see through Das Leader!
Floyd, is that an actual image that these scanners produce? I thought that they wouldn’t be capable of identifying people.
But, if you just take it’s negative…
I downloaded it off of Drudge. If the actual machine makes a jpg image these things will turn up on the Internet. Even if only 2% of TSA screeners are perverts or corrupt (a not unreasonable number ) that’s a lot of nekkid pictures of people. So much for our privacy advocates. She looks good in the negative — and I shouldn’t know that.
