Freshman Representative Opposes "TSA Porn"
An anonymous reader writes "Not content to simply follow the 'anything to protect American lives' mantra, freshman Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has introduced a bill to prohibit mandatory full body scans at airports. Chaffetz states, 'The images offer a disturbingly accurate view of a person's body underneath clothing ... Americans should not be required to expose their bodies in this manner in order to fly.' He goes on to note that the ACLU has expressed support for the bill. Maybe we don't need tin-foil sports coats to go with our tin-foil hats. For reference, the Daily Herald has a story featuring images from the millimeter wavelength imager, and we've talked about the scanners before."
Now I can exact my revenge on the TSA. After I walk through a couple three times they'll either all be blind or wish they were!
Who needed a tinfoil sportcoat? I don't care if they see a fuzzy outline of my moobs at the airport.
A tin-foil jockstrap, on the other hand...
Well, I use one, and ever since I started using a whole roll of tinfoil, I get lots of extra attention from the ladies. I'm not about to stop using it just because they might stop scanning my nads at the airport.

On the upside, if everyone could see what you looked like naked then just maybe we could gain some headway into stopping the obesity trend in America.
Then you clearly haven't seen enough people naked.
You mad
Taking that attitude to it's logical extreme, shouldn't there be a "fast lane" at the security checkpoint for people that have no carry-on luggage and are also completely naked?
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
He call that porn ?
;-)
You call that English?

How many are killed from gun-related shootings?
As offset by the non-gun-related shootings? I really don't know. I'll have to investigate that.

Bonus points to the first person who goes through the millimeter wave scanner at the airport and:
-wears the biggest strap-on possible
-writes "fuck you", etc. in metallic-fleck paint across their chest
-gets a call from a TSA screener after writing their phone number on their private parts
-sends a screener running screaming from the room without doing anything in particular other than going through the scanner

I'm disappointed that millimeter wave scanning and Z-backscatter hasn't yet made it to nightclubs. Security there can be more intrusive than at airports. Nightclub goons actually pat you down, which TSA doesn't do.
It would be fun to have the scans of people coming in on monitors around the club. Wny not? The clubbing crowd isn't that modest.
I hear the airport diner the town over is offering long pork for a low low price.
What a surprise that the first link to be slashdotted is the one purporting to contain pictures of naked people.
Personally, I didn't click on that link at all.
'I'm sorry sir, but your worker's comp doesn't cover eye bleach. Stop asking your employer to purchase nudie mags.'
I'm sure on days when attractive women come through the airport, it does make them harder. But I hardly think that's the point of the Bill of Rights.

Only to the degree that most of the people watching the scanners would no longer have an appetite... of course the few that did like it would be really disturbing... Oh, look at the cottage cheese thighs on that one! Work It, Baby!

Doubtful... it's not like they aren't disgusting with clothes on.
Why is that Spartacus, are they hideously obese?

I think you mean "If your shotgun is riding balls, see a doctor.".
Spoken like a true fatty.
My friend was killed by a cannon, you insensitive clod.
That sucks. Now if I want to sneak something onto a plane that I can't swallow I'll have to skin a fat person and make a suit of their flesh. On the bright side it also works pretty well for sneaking outside food into the movie theater.
If you didn't come to party don't bother knocking on my door. Prince '1999'
female marines attached to your unit? Yippee!!!!
As an obese man just let me say:
If they insist on seeing me naked, then they do so at their down risk. I will not be held responsible for any ensuing medical complications, or psychological damage incurred upon their staff.
On the plus side I could probably make good money smuggling pot into the US. The TSA agent will either be too busy waving me around the scanner, or screaming "Oh God my eyes!, it burns, it burns!"

That punk pulled a GLOCK 7 on me. You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines, and it costs more than you make here in a month.
yeah, nobody will get within 100 feet of a man wearing a flesh suit. you will get better seats at the movie too.
"Honey..do these pants make my ass look large??"
Babe...it ain't the pants.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
A major one.
The the new guy always enjoys the TSA "porn" until one day he see's a woman and she is hot but when he see her under the x-ray he finds a penis, then he is scarred for life, now he knows how superman feels when he uses his x-ray vision.
