There is no “uneducated” involved. Post #62 shows exactly what I posted. The photo on the left is true representation of reality, and the other ones have varying degrees of realism. Some of them are so vague that relatives would not be able to recognize the subject, while the one on the far right isn’t as good as the computer generated figures in “Avatar.” No one would ever confuse them with a good photograph that one would use for any traditional purpose, including porn.

These machines are for preventive measures. In the right hands, they are not as obtrusive as other preventive measures that American adults undergo routinely. Millions of people every year go for cancer screening, even though they do not have cancer; some have genetics that don’t even make them candidates for cancer. Yet those people often disrobe - or are scantily gowned - in front of the person looking, touching, or even probing internally. All for the goal of prevention. This scanner is a far cry from any of that.

I am a hard core conservative. I am being completely consistent in my small-goverment, vigorous-security philosophy. It doesn’t change, regardless of the occupants of various federal offices. I am not a RINO, nor a libertarian. And I’ll put my IQ against those so-called conservatives who insult here.

I’ll even go so far as to accomodate those with modesty standards that are tighter than the average American’s. Remove the persons who are reviewing the scans to an office distant from the machine, so that the TSA official can’t connect the scan to a real face. So that there can’t be any humiliation generated by immediacy. And if there is still titillation generated over that distance, then there is a completely different problem than the one being howled about.

You’re clueless and no “hard core conservative”.

Whose right hands? The government? You trust the government?

Idiot...

That's right. It's done in public, involuntarily chosen by the TSA, run by non-medical personnel who I seriously doubt are trained in the proper use of the machine, or are capable of being trained in the proper use of the machine.

I am a hard core conservative.

You are no hard core conservative.

OK, mr. rocket scientist....

Then by "goverment" do you mean "government"?

And "accommodate" for "accomodate"?

. Remove the persons who are reviewing the scans to an office distant from the machine, so that the TSA official can’t connect the scan to a real face.

Ah, take them off to where they can be molested in private with no witnesses so that if they complain, it's their word against the molester's.

And if there is still titillation generated over that distance, then there is a completely different problem than the one being howled about.

Ever hear of the Fourth Amendment?

Here. Just in case....

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Where are the TSA's search warrants?

If groping and scanning is such a great measure, why is the government considering an exemption for moslems? After all, were it not for the actions of moslems, we wouldn't need such measures.

If you're so desperate for a grope, go stand in the corner and grope yourself you invisible robot fish examiner!

One more thing, you'd better not go all Belgium on me!
