Do Not Mock Your Co-Worker's Tiny Penis While Testing Full-Body Scanners

By Laura Northrup on May 7, 2010 11:10 AM

If you've been wondering how much of your body airport full-body scanners actually do reveal, a recent TSA training session in Miami shows the answer: enough for your co-workers to mock the size of your genitals. The target of the mockery eventually found it unbearable, and police say that he "could not take the jokes anymore and lost his mind," attacking one of his colleagues in the parking lot. He was arrested for aggravated battery.

From the police report:

"The investigation revealed that the [suspect] was upset after a training with "Whole Body Image" machine. The X-Ray revealed [the suspect] has a small penis and co-workers made fun of him on a daily basis. [He] stated he could not take the jokes anymore and lost his mind. ”

Thanks for clearing that up. I had been hearing things such as how it will pick up breast implants, prosthetics and things of that nature.

I’d rather get “scanned” than fall out of the air. Just sayin’.

“forcing him to endure this gross intrusion into his privacy”

You have a point. OTOH if government expects the sheeple to endure the identical gross intrusion into privacy, then it seems a bit hypocritical not to permit the same on its employees.

Put a different way: if the government recognized this to be a gross intrusion of privacy and for that reason exempted its employees from the indignity, it effectively has conceded that the sheeple are right to be upset at the use of such intrusive technology.

Conversely, by subjecting its employees to the same procedure, the government is signaling that the technology is no big deal.

Thus while I concur with other posters that using this technology is not necessary or even particularly effective, I’d rather the government be at least consistent in its positions rather than knowingly subjecting the sheeple to a procedure so odious that it exempts its own employees.

TSA Guy: "Uh, Mr. Drill? Here's a coupon for a free drink onboard."

BtD: "Why, thank you, Mr. TSA Guy! To what do I owe the pleasure?"

TSA Guy: "Pity, sir."

I have a feeling the Feds have been lying to us about how much these full-body scanners can really see. For instance, in this picture, you can't see the *unit* at all. So, if the mocked guy's unit in the article could really be seen and commented on, it is clear that the Feds are lying to us.

It's probably more like this, which is disturbing.

The original picture we have all seen. Notice it doesn't show as many body features as this one. I think they deliberately don't want to upset the public by how much can really be seen.
