I don't see why people are being so stupid about this, it's not that big of a deal.  You essentially have three very simple choices:

1. Go through the damn scanner, it can't see your junk.
2. Get patted down.
3. Don't fly.

You have absolute control over which choice you choose!

It can see your junk.


Not really, or at least if you're offended they can see that than you should be offended that people can see a womans feet when they're are crazy foot fetish people out there.

People need to learn not to be so testy.

And, again, if they don't like it, nobody is forcing them to fly.


wow do not care for privacy much? what happens when this gets applied to more areas? Using a public bus body scan, going to the DMV body scan, going to the post office body scan, going to court body scan, going to any government building body scan. I mean they are all potential terroist targets that people must use and could get hurt at. How about they think of smarter ways to accomplish the same thing. Israel doesn't force its people through these etreme measures do they? There must be better ways


Do I care about privacy?  Sure, but there are times I see something as necessary or just not caring.

The person who scans you probably sees thousands of people a day, do you really think they care?  And even if they do care, why should you care?  Just ignore it and get on with it.  It's not a huge deal.  Everyone has issues and a lot of people have body issues (me included, I got a big belly!) but just think of some things as necessary evils.  It's not nearly as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

And one more time, there's a beyond simple solution if you don't like it: don't fly.
