You know, I've heard a lot of people get irrationally annoyed about this
And I'm really struggling to see a single reason why. You are, after all, talking about people who have the absolute legal right to take you to a room, strip you naked and shove a hand up your arse before you fly. What the fuck, then, is the relative problem with a body scanner?

Its people like you that...

I say...
Always fight to not give the state thugs more rights.

The other things about the images generated not being able to be copied and or saved when they could.

No trust in the moron doing the scanning right up to the top level.

I'd rather be stripped and bummed than scanned. Its the start of my holiday after all.

"I'd rather be stripped and bummed than scanned. Its the start of my holiday after all."

This gave me an officelol. What a fantastic theory, and I, for one, will be implementing it!

It's people like you that...
perpetuate some insane tinfoil hattedness about the "state" constantly being out to get you, though.

right. yeah. copied and saved. Unlike search room video cameras. Obviously.

Still, I agree, you can't start a holiday better than a good hard bumming.

"It's because of people like you that they build airports..."

it's not about them being 'out to get you'
it's about them not being able to manage what data they do collect on us. it's about those that hold the data allowing it to fall into the hands of those who will us it against us. It's about the simple right that a stranger can't look at my knob without buying me a drink first.
About the only thing isreal has ever got right is airport security, and they don't treat anyone like a cat A criminal

this.
it's no worse than turning up at edinburgh airport, getting moved onto an earlier flight, spending so long behind all the retards at security who are so startled that they DO need to take their shoes and belts off that they don't even start the process until they get to the (old-style) scanner that you then have to run to the departure gate with no time to put your belt back on and by the time you get there most of the people in departures have seen your pants.

probably.

I go through edinburgh a lot
odd really since I live there - and I actually quite like it. I didn't get to see your pants though, which is a disappointment.

i'm sorry about that.
i was up there and back in a day. well, rosyth, technically. i did spend an afternoon in edinburgh on a previous trip though and found it to be Rather Nice.

Oh, you don't want to go to Rosyth.

Edinburgh airport security area
has improved a lot in the last couple of months. There are a lot more scanners, and it's pretty quick to get through. Unlike Heathrow, which is just a scunner.

yeah, I noticed that last couple of times
although, it's still taking longer at the moment, what with the 37 million ned families escaping to majorca, innit, at this time of year. Roll on September.
