Wow, such bravery in a brave new world.

[driftdiver]

Oh good we can ignore the medical doctors who question its safety because this bonehead says so.

Congratulations teenie weenie wimp, you got one vote.

Now lets put it to a vote and see who agrees.

By the way, you got a wife or a Daughter ? Lets put them thru the pat down and check your vote again.....hell, their votes need checking also, they may even neutralize your vote.

[WellyP]

He is so slimy even the X-rays bounced off him!

[edcoil]

Never get between him and a camera.

[Osage Orange]

Great!!

A commie socialist marxist United States democrat tells me all is well......

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

A member of congress said he has seen the ACTUAL way the images look....the congressman said the real images are classified and they are the equivalent of porn.

[Political Junkie Too]

Given how Villaraigosa had an affair with a Telemundo anchor, which broke up his marriage and cost the mistress her job, and given how his four children came from three different mothers, I can see why he wouldn't be bothered by having his nude body projected for all to see.

“Distinguished biological physicist and radiation expert Mayor Villaraigosa, emerging from his x-ray laboratory where he’s been studying the effects of X-rays on human skin for the last 25 years, while publishing over 25 articles in respected and peer reviewed journals, assured the traveling public that TSA X-ray naked picture scanners inflict no harm.”

Oh wait. That’s not what happened at all. Instead, Mayor Villaraigosa, clutching his history degree from UCLA, allowed himself to be photographed in a TSA scanner, declaring, “See, it didn’t kill me. It must be safe. Now you try it.”

I tell you this is funnier than stupid pet tricks.

[dools0007world]

Well yippee for Mr. V. I wonder if he’ll volunteer to take the first TSA cavity check to show us all just how noninvasive and nonhumiliating that is.

[muawiyah]

Nobody ever accused this guy of being smart ~ Xray, Smeckray ~ ‘at’s what he’d say.

[muawiyah]

There's really no equivalent to porn. It is or it isn't. BTW, there are government employees who regularly make that decision ~ is it or isn't it ~ I was one for a while.

Kind of boring.

There are those who claim more expertise in the matter, but it rather defines itself eh!

[atc23]

Actually, Villaraigosa’s wife dumped him when she found out he was ridin dirty with a Univision reporterette.

[MortMan]

It’s just a Treblinka shower, right?

[freekitty]

Geez, the only weenie I see is the Mayor. I wonder if they had the machine on?

[Sergio]

The mayor says the scans exposed him to no harm and he didn’t feel his privacy had been invaded when an image of his body was projected on a computer screen viewed by security personnel.

Sorry Tony, but I will use the liberal definition of "sexual harassment" on this one.

The intent of the groper is immaterial, the only thing to be considered, is how the groper's actions made the victim feel.

[libertarian27]

When you look for a photo of this mayor on a search this is one of the first pictures you bump into

He' the smiling guy in the V....I don't think he's having a problem with scanners to begin with.

[stylecouncilor]

He’s never one to miss a photo op.
