I still think someone is bound to get turned on… and I am skinny… I cringe at the thought of some dude or chick (oh geez that’s worse…) becoming aroused from my body shape. Sorry but, I would feel alittle better if I was not constantly reminded of it by all these paranoid critics. Let them due their job. If your fat, be glad, and don’t worry, because most won’t be turned on and won’t start thinking dirty thoughts about you- so take it easy. But I want to start hearing that a machine is being used instead, that only projects, in the image, anything that is not actual skin (using something other than an xray, I would image), that could decipher the difference between skin and plastic and a machine for sleep apnia that is harmless and a machine for sleep apnia that has a bomb inside of it…. and a sharp knife from a butter knife….or just ban eating utensils all together, and make it obvious on websites and on site…… and…..stop saying “We’ve got a hot one!” for the love of god. You got your laugh. Now knock it off.

PS: Do you reeallly think that a pervert would actually get hired in such an occupational position as one involved in looking at naked pictures of young and adult Homosapiens? Not in this country- well, not with the American standard, at least.

Yes, I am. I am not convinced that the machines are worth their cost and cost of man power to operate them.

I am concerned that the TSA takes a knee-jerk approach to preventing terrorist attacks rather than a pro-active approach. All security procedures should be taken outside the airport before ANYONE and ANY BAGGAGE / PACKAGE enter the airport.

I am even more worried about millions of citizens (not just travelers) who are blase and lack the foresight to be alert about potential dangers in plain view AND reporting them immediately such as unattended bags and unusual behavior. Americans are far more naive than our European neighbors.
