Those machines have been around for a long time- there was a big flap about them a long time ago when they wanted to use them. They are only used when people decline a traditional search, so don't decline a traditional search if you fail the metal detector and then nobody will see your naughty bits.

Fixed it.

Stupid government, searches all of us when it was their refusal to keep track of illegals that led to this in the first place.

I just want all the screeners to be horny hotties. I would go through that screen real slow and wham as soon as they can see through my cloths they will quit their jobs and follow me where ever I go.

A whole lot easier (and less criminal) than wagging that thing around in public!

It reminds me of a book called "The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker, which was basically about a person being able to stop time. The character of the book was discussing the ability to see through clothes, like x-ray vision. I'm sure most of us as kids always wanted the ability to have x-ray vision so that we could see through women's clothing. (Ok, maybe not ALL of us.) Anyway, the character of the book made an amazing point, one I never considered before. If you could see through people's clothing, it wouldn't appear as if they were naked. All their naughty bits would be smooshed this way and that, depending on what undergarments they were wearing. You would see the elastic lines cutting into their skin and everything. Hardly sexy at all.

I suspect it's the same with this machine. Even with that being said, where do I sign up?
