January 18, 2013. Washington. In a rare victory, privacy rights advocates won their long-fought battle against the Transportation Security Administration over the use of x-ray imaging scanners at airports across America. As announced today, the scanners will be completely removed from airports by June 2013. But don’t be surprised if you see them again soon. The corporation that makes them insists that plenty of government agencies can’t wait to get their hands on them.

Personally I would the the airport scanner techs are thanking whatever deities they subscribe too. Most people are not swimsuit models and clothes industry works desperately to hide our many flaws. It would have to be the most boring and depressing job on the planet.

How so.....perverts screen their victims......we all screen what interests us......so an airport scanner tech has the opportunity of a lifetime waiting for the victim or his or her desires to pass through no different than you paging through a Playboy or Playgirl magazine til ya find the pics that capture your moment of desire......perverts could care less how many "no-go's" pass through.....the thrill is in the search with the tool of a lifetime.....nice try at giving them a pass.....try again.
