No, I wouldn't waste my money on this.
I've never had a problem with the scanners. Safety is far more important to me than 'modesty'. I really don't understand why people seem to be so upset by these scanners; they are a wonderful thing in my view.

My guess is that if the scanner can't see your body, you'll end up with a pat-down, which is even worse for the modesty.

Those are the men's? They don't look very comfortable, nor do they look like they do anything for your dignity.

So you'd be happy to have a nude picture of you taken, leaked online and using basic image tecnology, inverted to show a full colour image of you standing there naked? |

If it means I can travel safely, I don't care if they make me run up and down the runway naked with a team of moped driving paparazzi following me.
In fact, I'll ask if I may do that anyway...

Brunnen - No, that wouldn't particularly make me happy.
I've said this before, but I don't think I've said it here yet. If I had a choice between getting on an airplane where everyone on board had gone through these scanners (including myself), or no one had, I'd get on the first. If other people want to choose the less safe option, that's fine.

And yet that ship has already sailed. Google 'x ray scanner cinema for adult viewing' and you'll see how easy it is to revert an x ray to a full colour nude picture.
You're chasing shadows. Metal detectors and common sense are enough to keep people with guns and bombs off flights. This level of intrusion into your personal space is both unnecessary and useless. |

anyone could pretty much x-ray you at any time if they really wanted to and had the technology or whatever
i wouldn't call it cinema for adult viewing unless you were somehow x-rayed in your own home while having sexytimes
newsflash: everyone is naked under their clothes

Brunnen - Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
I understand that you, and many other people, dislike these scanners. Fine, I have no problem with that. I personally like the extra security they provide, and will not let this impact my enjoyment of traveling by air.
If you're going to let this topic get to you, continue. I choose to accept it and move on.

How comfortable would you feel with scans of children being reverted to full colour pictures?
They're not having "sexy times" but the images would give the pervs their jollies, I'm sure.
The simple fact is they have no right to photograph you naked without just cause. Whenever you submit to one of these scans, you're taking a sh*t on the bill of rights. |

Frankly, the need for them sort of pisses me off. I hate pat downs even more.

seeing kids in swimsuits playing in their sprinklers would make pervs happy
i mean that's kind of irrelevant. if the thought of random creeps ogling you is disturbing, maybe you should just stay inside and hide your kids
it probably shouldn't be legal but it's not THAT big a deal

Say that when you find naked pics of your kids online for some perv to wank off to. It hasn't happened yet (to my knowledge) but it's only a matter of time before sites are busted for having these sort of pics.
But hey, some perv jacking it to your naked kids is a small price to pay for the illusion of safety, right? |

Those are hideous, and I wouldn't pay $1 for them.

Thing is, they don't provide extra security. They don't make planes safer and merely give the illusion of added security. They're wastes of money, invasions of privacy and provide no benefit. |

Hahaha! If people want to go to that much trouble to see me naked they can knock themselves out......it won't be worth it though, but bully for them. I'd rather fly safely. |

It's strange that you should feel that way, since the scanners have never actually detected anything dangerous, even though such items have been passed through them.

i just don't think that's going to happen
i mean why go through all that effort when it's not that hard to just take the kid and sell them to a child prostitution ring
plenty of kids get lost at airports
nobody ever suspects the TSA officer |
