There should be a “Warning: Movie Star is Male!” alert on this thread.
Cue "William Shatner in Star Trek II" photo...
So fire the people responsible with the caveat. People who do this also gaze at underwear ads in Sears catalogues.

B.S. on the destroy after scanning thing.
Evidence must be kept of those that are detected of having weapons and such, this means the machines DO HAVE the capability to make a recording of the image.
This has potential for abuse all over it, given the TSA goons that we have at airports, as well as muslime males running the scanners, the little pedophile’s that they are . . .
Yuck!!
As for flying vs. prostate exams, at least with the prostate exam you know the doctor and you can evaluate his record. Physicians undergo years of training, and have a well-established professional ethos. If he does something untoward, there are state licensing boards and physician rating websites. The TSOs who view the nude-o-scope images are complete strangers and not accountable at all to their subjects. When you step into the body imager, you have literally no control over the image of your body, nor any sure knowledge of what is happening to it--just the assurances of the TSA.
I did, and now I'm having second thoughts.
The camel's nose was under the tent right after 911, when our "leaders" decided that muslims should not be singled out for speciall attention at airports.
Anyone else agree with me that that was a mistake of monumental proportions?
For a while if a suspicious person was seen in public doing "weird" things, it was not permissible for law enforcement to describe the suspect as middle-eastern-looking.
Stupidity is it's own reward.
If I were elected president, my first executive order would be a new paradigm : All travelers with passports from members of Council of the Islamic Conference, or holding tickets with stopover at any of them, would be subject to total exams of persons and luggage; no exceptions.
ALL other passengers must eat one or more pork rinds provided at the check-in counter. People on the official, voluntary and verified Jewish travel list would be exempt, subject to case by case exemption, based on firm suspicion. All the remainder would be subject to the usual customs contraband checks that exixted prior to 911.
My second Executive Order would be the total ban of Visas for tourism, education or work for any resident of Islamic Conference Countries.
When muslims join the civilized 21st Century World, we can talk about changing the rules.
Spare me the "holier than thou" comments. As Mayor Koch said,
"We're at war with Islam.
"We're gonna be at war for the next 30 years; we're afraid to call them muslim islamic terrorists. We'll call them anything but --because we don't want to alienate muslim countries.
"That's ridiculous!
"Of course the vast majority of muslims --there are a billion, four hundred million -- are not terrorists, but there are hundreds of million who are!
They want to kill every Christian, every Jew, every Hindu who won't convert.
And we ought to put that on the table.

This thread is useless without X-rays.
You RAAAANGGG??????
Greatest 3-hour Bollywood movie ever.
No, I disagree. The government HAS a role to play in several areas, especially when it comes to security. I do believe that most people would not mind sacrificing a bit of privacy for safety.
Now, when it comes to "privacy," every time I'm in front of my computer I get this feeling that many are watching everything that I do or write just behind the screen!... now that IS creepy... and I don't hear anyone raising hell about it.
