“While It Allows The Security Screeners … To Clearly See The Passenger’s Sexual Organs…The Passenger’s Face Is Blurred…”

That is quote only the TSA can get away with.  What do you think?  The Staycations I wrote about yesterday just got a gigantic boost.

 Security scanners which can see through passengers' clothing and reveal details of their body underneath are being installed in 10 US airports, the US Transportation Security Administration said Tuesday.

A random selection of travellers getting ready to board airplanes in Washington, New York's Kennedy, Los Angeles and other key hubs will be shut in the glass booths while a three-dimensional image is made of their body beneath their clothes.    TSA foresees 30 of the machines installed across the country by the end of 2008.

Do not rush to judgement though.  TSA says that "Passengers are not obliged to accept the new machines.  They can choose between the body imaging and the pat-down."

Well, at least we have options.  For the full article click here.
