Body scanners used as porn by airport security

It's a shame their lives are so lonely and pathetic they can get their jollies looking at such images.

My daughter has flown twice since these things were installed at our airport and she's been picked both times to get scanned. Don't tell me they aren't using them for "jollies" around the world.

Well, I'm an overweight, over-40 mother of 3. If anyone gets his jollies from THAT then they are more pathetic than perverts, lol

Please know that your daughter---anyone---- CAN refuse! I travel extensively by air and I always try to pick a line that does not have the machine. If I wind up in one, or it's the only one, I refuse and take the pat-down. They MUST provide an alternative to the machine... at least here in the U.S.
I would never let my pre-teen and teen daughters go through one for the very reasons stated in this article.
Also, read this recent article posted on CNet: "Feds Admit Storing Checkpoint Body Scan Images, August 4,2010.

to BeenAroundTheWorld, In theory we have the right to refuse, however I've recently seen several ladies told no, they had to go through as they had "picked" that lane. Me, I threw a major fit and they hand wanded and patted me down. Of course I had some hours to kill before my plane got there and so had spare time. My husband just shook his head. By the way I was done before the lady going through the scanner next to me as the idiots were scanning and then patting down everyone who went through @@. I got nasty looks from the TSA agents when I mentioned that if someone went through the scanner, they should not need to be patted down except for rare exceptions.
