@ecwis: Right, in the area of the anamoly. A metal hip joint won't show up on the peep show, so no pat-down necessary.

@Rohic: Please, try to keep up. We covered the dumper angle. And for that matter, everybody's profiling men...could we get some chick terrorists in here for some snatch talk?

@Krutch: Kids? Old ladies? Read this one:

@SacredByte: shhhh...stop giving the terrorists ideas! :)

@aydiosmio: Look up and down this thread...the ass thing has been covered.

@elam110: Don't ask me, ask all these idiots that think the TSA is doing too much. One subway bomb and everybody will be screaming for scanners in the subways.

@vc-10: Ha ha! One of my favorites:

@kiddicus: Since nobody else is doing it, here is a "serious" answer:

@Christian Park: Says who? The professionals who built it, tested it, and certified it? Or the fearmongers who "read it somewhere on the internet?" Take just a little time and read up on the FACTS. It will ease a lot of your unfounded stress.

@InfidelAl: See? You get it! What the TSA is doing is always reactionary...it's only good for the *old* threats. People complain about what's being done now and you can bet dollars to donuts they'll be the first to scream when the next terrorist drives a bus through one of those big honkin' holes (heh-heh...hole)…

@ifandbut: So you're saying you'd like to even the odds?

@strategy5659: At least they're making an attempt at personal privacy. I used to watch the carry-on x-ray monitor hoping to see some lady's purse with a vibrator in it. Ah, the good ol' days :)

@perfectionate: Ha ha! Have you been reading my other posts?

@FordTuffMcgruff: And when the next guy puts a bomb in his underwear and they have no way to detect it what do you think *that* will do for business?

@lledra: The metal detector picked up the hip, the body scanner would not be able to see through the skin so the hip is not a factor. The body scanner would however prevent the need for the usual "further inspection."

@jark: Always remember and never forget, the guy with the bomb in his underwear and the guy with the bomb in his shoe and all their like-minded friends want to kill you. Period.

@moosetoga: Read the news dude. Just in the last couple of weeks from our local news:

@Alejandro Barrios: I honestly would love to see the Spinal Tap cucumber bit done for-real and caught on i-phone video. That should be the next You-Tube mass participant video.

@Pessimippopotamus: I haven't seen the remake yet, but the original was an integral part of my formative years. 30 years later I'm still using quotes from it on a regular basis. It also had nude chicks shooting machine guns.

@ttyymmnn: I might be a little more comfortable calling them "professionals" if their uniforms fit a little better. What a bunch of slobs. Give a little attention to your appearance and I might think you're giving some attention to your job. Slobby look, slobby attitiude, slobby work.
