I keep seeing this thread and thinking it says "Lovers and Security."

If you want people to not talk to you, just bring a copy of the encyclopedia. No one wants to talk to the crazy person reading the encyclopedia for fun.

 

I've never been on a plane before, but reading this thread has seriously made me want to.

The x-ray pictures are deleted as soon as they're "approved" for flight.  There's no way of identifying who you are, and they're far from pornographic. 

 

But I just have strong feelings about people who hold up the line ahead of me at security so they can have super special screening for seemingly no reason.   :)  I'm biased, I'll cop to that. 

 

The x-ray pictures will depend from machine to machine (different airports have different models as TSA has admitted).  Some have the capacity of being hacked, and there are known instances in which TSA agents have improperly leaked images.  There is also the problem of exposure to wavelengths in at least some models as well.

 

Super special screenings, especially gropings, are very annoying, to say the least.  Most people appear to go through the normal pat-downs without a problem, but some do have morally objectionable things done to  them during this potentially invasive procedure.

 

Like x-rays, both ways of going through the line have their pros and cons.  It is up to the informed conscience and luck as to which method to submit to as being the "lesser" of two evils.

You have never been on a plane? Just what do you do with yourself futurepriest?

For the record, you're exposed to more radiation while flying than you are going through one of the new-fangled x-ray machines. :)  And people hack the machines in order to defame the machines.  There are far easier ways of getting porn on the internet. 

 

But yeah, you're right, it's definitely up to individual conscience. :)

I'm willing to let TSA see my pp for a couple of seconds in order to make the airport safe.

It's fun. You get over the initial excitement 10 minutes after taking off.

Don't forget the anticipation and hope of crashing and landing on an island so you can meet the Others.

I've already tried. God doesn't answer those prayers.

I wonder what would happen if you went through a TSA full body scanner with a cucumber in your pocket.

Oh, but He does. The answer is "No."
