    Maybe it's because of what I do for a living... but personally I don't care. If the people who are shy or more conservative want to care, I say let them fight it. People see me in the buff all the time & its not like they would be making any money off of photos of me like that.

    I don't think they are going anywhere...

    If they can't save/print the images. And the people viewing the pictures never see you in person or interact with you, I guess it doesn't bother me much.

    Couldn't care less about 1 more person seeing me naked.

    I do, however, care how insanely cancer causing these machines are.

    They pretty much microwave you when you walk through them.

    I seriously don't care.

    People don't seem to get it. Flying is a privilege, not a right. They don't like security measures, they can drive. And the truth is that everyone is saying this violates AMERICAN rights, not HUMAN rights. Translate: if I'm not black or Muslim, I'm obviously not a threat, so you can't do this to me. Black or Muslim? Violate away: gotta keep our country safe! And that, my friends, is bullshit.

    I've become more fond of the train for continental transport. When you figure in all of the pre-flight waiting time at the airport, you've already wasted several hours. I'd rather just take the train with some relatively more pleasant passengers and look out the window.

    I also don't want to be on a flight for Paris or some other romantic destination and then some fat nasty gray pubes gets scanned in front of me. EW! Now if it was Christian Bale!!!

    I wouldnt care if they see you naked, the fact of radiation worries me.

    Also, as you CAN take a train here or there.. What are you going to take to go across the world.

    One of the real issues here is that if you refuse the scanner, you are subjected to an "enhanced pat-down" which sounds like the traveler essentially gets groped by the security personnel.

    The thing we have to remember guys is not everyone gets naked for a living yeah. What about everyone else? The general woman who only has her husband or bf seeing her naked on a regular basis. Or the not so svelt woman that is embarassed by her naked body? Not every feels comfortable with strangers ogling her goodies. To the majority of women this can make them feel very uncomfortable of even ashames. What about the older flying travelers? Women 50 or 60 and above? Their choice is to either be seen naked or be agressively groped down. Yes I understand that air travel is a privallege and not a right but that doesn't mean that you should have to sacrifice your dignity for the privallege of more convenient travel.

    Honestly, that would embarrass me if it's viewable to a lot of ppl. I don't need ppl seeing my shit for free.

    In the real world, I am me. In a SC, I am someone else and don't give a fuck.

    Too me it's a simple matter of weighing out potential consequences. On the one side, you feel your privacy is being violated and someone might get a few seconds of jollies looking at you naked- on the other the plane crashes, everyone is killed, the airline industry may collapse and the economy goes into a tailspin.

    Most people are copy-cats. Once a threat is percieved it should be dealt with and eliminated to the best of our ability. Yes, we are going to have new people trying new things, but that is a tiny fraction of non-creative people that would be trying old things that weren't sufficiently safeguarded against. How many repeat shoe-bombers have we had?.

    My solution is that everyone that is so vehemetly opposed to these new procedures signs a contract in which they take financial responsibility if there is a crash because of a factor associated with the matters in question, we waive them and if something happens that group then has to collectively pay all claims from those killed, the airlines losses and whatever bailout of the economy is necessary as a result.

    well, i must say, those are some lovely breasts!

    i am not so much concerned with people looking at me naked as much as i am with the fact that i no longer have a choice (other than getting molested which is even worse) if i want to fly. The TSA has wayyyy past overstepped its bounds. its the principle of the matter.

    and the fact that americans have gone so bonkers that they are willing to tolerate this in the name of 'safety.' this is a gigantic load of horseshit. grow some balls america. and some logic while you are at it. the TSA looking at naked bods and feeling up bods is not going to save you...

    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    you should be equally worried about radiation from the scanners as you should be about getting blown up by terrorists, according to one scientist. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...st-claims.html honestly the probability of dying from either of them is pretty negligible... certainly not enough to justify this humiliation.
