Many airports in the United States and the United Kingdom have installed new full body scanners<\/a>.\u00a0 They are easy to spot.\u00a0 You walk in and a security guard tells you to raise your arms out to the side.\u00a0 Then what happens is they take a naked photograph of you.\u00a0 Naked.\u00a0 Nude.\u00a0 Bare-assed.\u00a0 Birthday suit.\u00a0 Free as the wind blows.\u00a0 Exposed.\u00a0 Porno.<\/p>\n

Why porno?\u00a0 Because they take naked pictures and look at them.\u00a0 They want to do it to children too.\u00a0 And guess what?\u00a0 In the U.K. it has suddenly been noticed that taking naked pictures of children in airports violates anti-child porn laws<\/a>.\u00a0 You bet.\u00a0 Think about it.\u00a0 Your kid in the machine.\u00a0 Arms up in the air.\u00a0 Being photographed naked through his or her clothes.\u00a0 The TSA claims that a single operator in a booth will view the naked photos of boarding passengers and children.\u00a0 Fine.\u00a0 So think about that.\u00a0 A little fat guy sitting in there with his sandwich and his can of Coke watching you and your kids naked.\u00a0 Enjoy that image?\u00a0 Still want to fly?\u00a0 Or would you rather just drive now?<\/p>\n

No one anywhere has the right to look at our naked bodies just because we are getting on an airplane.\u00a0 No one.\u00a0 I certainly will not enter one of these invasive machines under any circumstances.\u00a0 I think that airline passengers wherever they might be should absolutely refuse to walk into these things.\u00a0 That will create chaos and slow things down until these hysterical security people back off with the nude photos.\u00a0 Causing an uproar<\/a> about this is probably the one thing that will stop the roll-out of these machines.\u00a0 President Obama may in fact expedite<\/a> the increased use of these things. Well, he’s the bright bulb who’s hiding photos of U.S. military torture practices and now he wants nude photos of us and our kids.\u00a0 Cool guy, huh?<\/p>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union<\/em> (ACLU) calls these things the ‘naked machines.’<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

In many airports the machines are voluntary and offered as an option to avoid a pat-down.\u00a0 Not for long.\u00a0 The TSA wants these naked photos and they want them really bad.\u00a0 Have you met some of these TSA agents by any chance?\u00a0 My god!\u00a0 They are as dumb as posts.\u00a0 I met one a year ago at Los Angeles International Airport in the parking lot.\u00a0 She said she was lost.\u00a0 Lost!\u00a0 She couldn’t find the terminal building.\u00a0 I had to literally walk her through the airport to find her work station.\u00a0 I was just a passenger on my way somewhere.\u00a0 She was totally lost and completely at my mercy.\u00a0 I could have led her anywhere and stolen her badge.\u00a0 Trust me, if you can’t find the terminal at LAX, there’s something seriously wrong with you.\u00a0 That is the level of training these people are receiving.\u00a0 Another time, just months ago, I gave the finger to a TSA agent who tried to jump in front of me while boarding a crowded shuttle bus.\u00a0 He got on his phone and called airport police, saying that he had a dangerous passenger who had given him and his officers the finger.\u00a0 Four police cars showed up.\u00a0 Guess what happened when the officer in charge listened to the irate TSA guy.\u00a0 He smiled at him, then turned to me and said, “Sir, would you be interested in pressing any charges against the TSA?”\u00a0 I said, “No thanks, but it’s nice to know that a cop understands I’m allowed to give the finger to the TSA.”\u00a0 He said, “If you change your mind call me at this number.”\u00a0 Then he handed me a card!\u00a0 He said there were lots of complaints about the TSA people and that his officers were sick and tired of dealing with them because they didn’t understand any of the laws.\u00a0 And now we are asked to trust these TSA nitwits with naked photographs of ourselves and our children?\u00a0 Are you kidding?\u00a0 Seriously?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
