Full-body scanner / pat-down controversy gets the cartoon treatment
Taiwan's Next Media Animation has turned the spreading controversy over airport full-body scanners and pat-downs into a cartoon.
The animation house releases news videos each day on YouTube and provides English translations for some of the videos.
The animation summarizes - and mocks - the recent incidents in the United States when air passengers have refused full-body scans and pat-downs - the Travel Security Administration's recently released enhanced security measures.

Among the scenes in the video:
- A cross-dressing male passenger fights off a TSA agent's advances and reveals undergarments with explosives and a tag reading "Osama's Secret"
- Protestors wave signs that read "Don't Touch My Junk"
- The name of the full-body scanner manufacturer is "RapeScan Systems."
- Naked passengers take over a plane on Nov. 24, which protestors have deemed National Opt-Out Day.
- A female passenger requests that her pat-down be done in private, and is taken to a room with a king-size bed and a seductively dancing TSA agent.

Imagine the gridlock if all US planes were grounded under protest by a vocal minority! SPREAD THE WORD -- DON'T TOUCH MY JUNK!!
