Backscatter
I just read an article about a TSA employee who attacked a colleague for making fun of the size of his junk during a body-scanning machine training session.
That got me to thinking about the whole backscatter x-ray thing. I am not cool with the idea of people I haven't met and do not want to meet seeing basically my naked body in order for me to get on a plane. What's next, body cavity search? It feels extremely violative to me. Moreso if men are the ones at these machines - but I'm not sure if there is a female-only policy on this one(?) Anyway, I'm curious how y'all feel about this issue.
