EW.

Has anyone seen the news article about the new scanning devices in airports?  Its supposed to replace a pat-down screening.  However, it takes a GRAPHIC image of the body UNDER the clothes.  Everything, from breast size to everything else, internal and external, shows up on this image.

Somehow this seems to take security a little too far!!!  I'd definitely refuse.  I'd totally freak out knowing some stranger is checking out all these people's intimate features for the sake of overblown security.  UM.  I have a ton of health probs but not even my doctor has that much info on me.  I remember when they started requiring you to take your shoes off at airports.  I got pissed just about that... I used to wear my bulkiest shoes to travel in so they wouldnt take up space in my luggage.  Now, i pack them.  What a pain!!!  And Now they're taking naked pictures of people.  SERIOUSLY.  How far will this country go?  That's too extreme.  it seems to violate rights somewhere, somehow.
