"No Scan, No Fly" At Heathrow and Manchester
An anonymous reader writes "It is now compulsory for people selected for a full body scan to take part, or they will not be allowed to fly from Heathrow or Manchester airports. There is no optional pat down. Also, a rule which meant that people under 18 were not allowed to participate in the body scanner trial has been overturned by the government. There is no mention of blurring out the genitals, however reports a few years back said X-ray backscatter devices aren't effective unless the genitals of people going through them are visible."
If you walk through with a hard-on?
I was quite upset about this until I realised that
a) The person viewing the image will be in another room and won't actually meet me, and
b) I can stand in that thing and jiggle my lard around like the dancing baby from Ally McBeal and make whoever is watching them image lose their lunch.
And they are far better then any foreign beaches. No burning sand to scorch your feet on, you do not have to actually enter the sea to be soaked to the bone and free condoms float by whenever you need one!
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
The genitals are pretty much the same for everybody.
Mine disagree with that statement.

Effing great, there goes my sex life.
Well, at least it was replaced with something that caters to my exhibitionist urges.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I take the bus to European cities all the time from the US. Not only do I not get stripsearched, I get to visit Spongebob.
Another reason not to fly. Period.
If god had meant us to fly he wouldn't have given us genitals.
You're more likely to die from falling down your basement stairs, and far more likely to die at the hands of your own family than a terrorist.
Outrageous! Why isn't the the Department of Homeland Security protecting me from my own family?
They should also turn my basement stairs into a playground slide while they're at it.
