EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A scanner the government is testing for airport screening reveals much more than meets the eye to be comfortable for most passengers.

'Nice Bombs Ya Got There' Susan Hallowell, director of the Transportation Security Administration's security laboratory, sacrificed a large measure of her own modesty Wednesday to demonstrate the problem.

Another indignity added to flying in the USA

But ya gotta admit the title is a hoot!

Another option would be to restrict the screener to a booth so no passing peepers can see the image,

Or to help defray the cost, they can set up additional "private booths" where other passengers, or people off the street can insert a token and a little door slides up and......

Take the Train, ride a bus, or preferably, drive yourself.

As far as I'm concerned bankrupt the entire airline industry. I will never get on another plane as long as I live. No way in hell that I'll join sheep that would allow this kind of thing to happen to them.

Sheep I tell you, sheep.

Gee-- if you won't take your Burkha off for a driver's license photo, what are ya gonna say about this!!

Actually, while I could put up with it, I REALLY don't like the idea of my wife and children being viewed by some pervert.

It is not going to work. The next Airline attack will be just that. The Islamofacists will break through the gate and storm on board swat style. They have been practicing this as a tactic for a while now as seem on their training files about building entry.

Trifecta!

Ya know, maybe its just me, but I don't think people will be lining up to pay to watch images like that. Fer shure, nobody's gonna be interested in seeing images like that of my body, "of a certain age."

I'm with you, plus too when you drive, you see more of the USA, maybe back in the 1950's they were right in saying, "see the USA in your Chevrolet." B-) Don't get me wrong, flying is an experience too, it's neat to look down see roads, farms, towns, irrigation areas, etc., but I much prefer car travel. Plus too as pointed out here, you got to put up with so much BS (sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly as the case here is) to get on a plane, it's just better to chuck it and take the car.

I vaguely remember the days when flying was meant to be special, you dressed up, the stewardesses wore pill-box hats and snappy uniforms, and so on. It sure ain't like that now. B-)

No kidding. How embarassing. I'm glad I'm too broke to go on vacation, or even fly on an airplane.
