I have arthritis in my hands that unfortunately causes me to flip these ba$tards the "bird" as I submit to my overlords.

Sorry......

Aren’t the backscatter images far more detailed and clearer than the illustrations shown above?

[The_Media_never_lie]

I would probably laugh at them if I saw them naked, too. People should lighten up!

Human stupid behaviour.

40 years ago, I saw postal workers playing football with an urn on the way to its destination. The package was marked.

Your mom ... your wife ... your daughter ... yeah freaking hilarious ... f’n moron

The object of Der Gropenfuhrer’s(aside from carrying out orders from His Satanic Majesty) TSA is to demoralize, debase, and defile the American People. They are a bunch of incompetents, thieves, and worse.

Precisely why I wouldn't fly if I could. Get nuked by an X-Ray to see your junk in a photo or get your junk groped by these fat TSA (Touch Sexual Area) union thugs.

Looks like the person on the right is wearing a strap-on dildo. It doesn’t surprise me if they were laughing at her. Since it was concealed, it wouldn’t be inappropriate to share with their fellow officers what they perceived as an attempt to hide the passenger’s true identity.

Reason #2 why I haven’t flown commercial since 9-12-01. If I can’t drive there, I don’t go. Period. Screw the criminal, corrupt TSA crap.

Well, I am sure we are all shocked to learn of this. /s But the piece calls this guy a "former Transpiration Security Administration (TSA) agent", so I guess I am relieved that he is not talking about the Transportation Security Administration. Maybe the people he describes were in charge of breathing.

[OldPossum]

as I submit to my overlords.

Just curious. Why do you submit? Do you really, really have to get on an airline's plane? If you are not required by your employment you deserve the humiliation that you get.

I would probably laugh at them if I saw them naked, too. People should lighten up!

I guess not everyone is an undignified pervert serf like you are.
Slim.

I wonder if there is some xray reflective material we could place on our backs or abdomens to let The TSA know how we feel about their scans? like the letters "FU TSA" or "TSA KMA"

No thanks, I’ll drive.

If you google backscatter image you will find some images of much better quality. I would image that the quality can be quite good, probably depends on the operator how good the image is. You can bet thou that the images released to the public will deliberately be of a poor quality.

I think boric acid powder in a piece of clothing or some such would work.

There were some clothes online that had the Fourth Amendment printed on them (in the xray pics) .

You can always ask to opt out. It only takes a few minutes. The weird thing when you opt out is they don’t even have you pass through the metal detector.
