"I'm hoping by wearing a bikini they will see everything they need to see and we can avoid a pat-down"
Thousands of passengers are expected Wednesday at LAX, and one came prepared by leaving little to the imagination and TSA agents with even less to pat down. "I'm wearing my bikini," Corinne said as she unbuttoned her overcoat outside the terminal to reveal a black two-piece. "It's not that I'm concerned, it's that I feel like the TSA is making travelers feel uncomfortable, and I feel like we can have security measures that don't make people feel uncomfortable.
"Every time I go through security I always say, 'I don't even know why I got dressed this morning.' I end up taking off belts, jewelry and everthing else off anyway."
"I don't want to do a body scan, and I'm hoping by wearing a bikini they will see everything they need to see and we can avoid a pat-down, as well."
A loosely organized campaign by people opposed to the scanners has been encouraging travelers to opt-out of walking through the body scanners today as a protest of technology some consider overly invasive. But opting out of the scan means passengers will undergo time-consuming, thorough pat-downs by a Transportation Security Administration agent.
About 1.5 million people are expected to go through LAX during the Thanksgiving travel period that began last Friday and ends Sunday.
The body scan takes only about 10 seconds. Those who refuse the body scan are given the option of undergoing an open-palm, up the groin and between- the-breasts pat-down instead.
The mayor seemed ok with it.
"There's been a lot of ado about nothing," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said after going through a scanner earlier this week.
Also known as Advanced Imaging Technology, the refrigerator-sized body scanners hit passengers with low-level x-ray beams to generate an image of their body to detect weapons that might be hidden under their clothing. The image -- which resembles a chalk etching -- is then transmitted to a walled-off location and immediately deleted after being examined by security officers.
Esther, the gif I posted proves there really is a God...
Is that what it seems to you? Really? If so, all it does is reveal what is hidden in your heart, not what is in the thread.
While I generally avoid threads such as this for the simple reason that I don’t want to look at women’s bodies who aren’t my wife, I agree with you that pics of scantily clad women don’t necessarily belong on a website that professes to advocate God and family. With that said, I must disagree that said pictures are porn; I know what porn is and a woman in bathing suits and/or undergarments is not porn.
TSA - “We handle more packages than USPS.”
Pssssst..... Come back later after she isn't looking over your shoulder. Otherwise, your crediblity is zero. (snicker)
How dare you!!!
You’ve been long enough to know the rules!!!!

To anyone here is is not here by choice.....if someone is holding a gun to your head forcing you to click on this thread, please signal us and we will call your local 911.
Lighten up, Francis.
You dont happen to have a photo of ourself , do you?/s
But then something tells me that you do not appreciate satire very much.
Its very effective in ridiculing the leftists who watch us so closely here on FR.
And ridicule is one of the main weapons in the fight against fascism, exposure and truth are the other two.
But some do not want to temporarily sacrifice their self righteousness in order to fight. It is too much to ask. Thats why conservatives were defeated in Italy and Germany prior to WW II.
The only bugging me is how few pictures there are on this thread.
She is a babe!
