Full body scanner operators complain about "pervert" accusations {Gadling}
Mar 7th 2010 3:10AM What can be done about the body-scanners?
1. Address the security personnel as Perv. Like any other nickname that people like them should have no problems with. Act perplexed if they complain, explaining to them to just do their jobs without the editorial justification. And complain about them complaining about being called perv.
2. Support groups that can create realistic content, like on real scanners, and educate the public about these people. If public officials complain at press conferences ask them if they masturbate to the scans. As a legitimate public concern. Or if they have any knowledge of the security officers doing the same. And what can be done about this problem of of security personnel pervs.
3. Generally treat the security personnel disrespectfully. Especially once clear. Taunt them with suggestive disparaging commentary. Like, "Bet you can't wait to see some (fill in appropriate taunt ..."
4. Publish accounts of what happened when you got scanned. Including the leering looks from the security personnel.
5. Definitely NEVER address them as Officer. Calling them officers is an insult to the non-pervs in the field. Never say thank you. Or please. Or any other common decency. For want of good insulting terminology, like pig, perhap neutral words would work. Such as referring to them as "uniformed person," or "badged person." Or something else equivilent
Eventually this will create a crisis and the machines will be removed. Or largely go out of practice.

Aug 7th 2006 10:52PM So Rob Schneider won't be working with Mel. Neither will that Israeli so-called publicist. Not too smart on either part to try to make a name through negativity. (Though think the publicist might reasonably be mentally ill and forgiven.)
Don't imagine that Mel has enough clout to blacklist anybody. But no reason to work with sworn enemies either. Presume he has his nose out. Anybody who Fs with him can presume to get rooted out if possibler.
