| superchunk said: Secure in that every passenger and attendant had a visual check in any are they could conceal anything. The visuals are off-site and therefor not embarrassing as a physical pat down or having to remove clothing. No one is touching my wife or kids, yet we have all been 'searched'. That, to me, is a fair trade-off for better security. Its no different than having nurses and doctors all up your business at a hospital, in fact its better as the people 'viewing' the horribly poor quality image are not even there. |
Edit: Ahh I almost missed this. These scans can't really detect liquids. What were all the recent scares about again? Fluid things that rhyme with liquid I think. No, they are not checked to make sure they aren't carrying anything. The exact same vulnerabilities exist.
The last time I got a STD test my doctor tried to call in the nurse I got along with the best, and trusted the most. I refused to have it happen all the same. One or the other was my limit. Yes I am a very private person as it pertains to that region of my body. I am not against people exposing themselves in general, but just me exposing myself. I get to draw that line for myself though. I also get a voice in an agency I fund.
