Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

Well it seems that some airport security personnel have already abused their body scanning power. Some women printed out a body scan (naked image) of some Indian actor. He signed them for the girls.

I believe these scanners will hurt more lives than save them. Think about pedophiles taking home those naked images of kids. Or stalkers. I don't need any loser looking at my girlfriends naked body because she wants to go on a flight somewhere.

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

I just flew through Denver, where they have one of these. At least there, not everyone goes through it, and if you are selected to go through it, you can opt for a pat-down/wand search instead.

Have to admit, though, I was a little skittish when I realized I might end up having to go through it.

That article just proves that men are the cooler gender. [I]Would you like me to sign above or below my cock?[/I]

Id rather my girlfriend get scanned than felt up by a pat down. Like id say there are restrictions in place on those machines, I doubt the workers had the ability to print out X amount of copies without the celeb not being asked if it was ok, he seems fairly light hearted about it.

Don't see much of a big deal with it, i have nothing to hide except my massive dong :)

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

I just don't see why my thai girlfriend needs to be anything, pat down or naked scanned. I mean when was the last time anyone heard of a suicide thai buddhist bomber??
If you look deeper into the situation this about getting people into a slavery mentality. This isn't about safety. It is about people getting used to police/security interaction on a daily bases and the dwindling of rights.

I mean I agree if someone wants to take a naked pic of me go for it I personally could care less. But the idea of my girlfriend or future daughter/son having it done and being raised in that restricted environment makes me want to go hang out with the eskimos.

Flying isn't a right its a privilege, you've head the same thing about driving correct? You don't have the right to own a drivers license. If you don't like being scanned then feel free to fly Greyhound, easy as that.

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

If women scan women and men scan men, are you really any more exposed than you would be getting changed after a game of football/swim/sauna. Personally i'd be happy to let the female staff at the airport have a good old look at my enormous manhood.

I thought flying was a mode of transport. I though everyone was entitled to have a driving licence unless they where excluded by the criteria laid out by the DVLA. I cant say I see it as a privilege either. Many people have to fly without much choice. If anything flying isnt a privilage as most people don't have to gain any special entitlement in order to fly.

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

Nah you have to pass a drivers test to get on the road last time I checked. if you are too old or too young you cant drive. if you are too drunk you can't fly. its not a right.

#1332046Post 14 of 94

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

Yeah but no one is excluded taking the test. Everyone who meets that criteria is allowed to take that test. Every time I get on a plane I'm to drunk to fly. Do you need a licence to board a plane or any different documentation than what you would need to cross a boarder on a bus, NO

wait, what??

wouldnt be the other way around, where if you werent allowed to fly, then it would be a communist tought?? i mean, im just sayin, the only way you can fly is if you can afford a plane ticket, also, you have to take into account that airlines are not goverment agencies, they are private companies so as far as im aware they are also entitled to deny you service, therefore to fly is definetly a privilege, because to actually fly you would have to afford to fly, isnt that free economics, democracy, etc etc.?

i would read into this the same way as to going to any club, yes everyone is invited but you have to abide by all of the clubs rules, otherwise your ass aint going in.

Yeah but this is no different than res0nat0r's Greyhound bus! yes you mite have to afford to and they mite deny you service, its still not a privilege. If NASA call me up and tell me they are take the shuttle out for a run and are inviting me along that would be a privilege. Or even if BA phoned me up and told me they had a few seats going to Miami and I was more than entitled to utilize them that would be a privilege.

When I go to a club I agree to give the club money and abide by certain rules, they agree to let me in. This is not some privilege they are giving me, I didn't go through and special selection process or wait for them to ask me if I fancied flying with them its a business transaction. Flying mite be luxury yes privilege no.

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

By communist I mean anyone that is trying to restrict freedoms.

Nobody likes restrictions

Restrictions = Communism

Like now-saying me and my girlfriend can't fly down to Miami for some heat unless I want my girlfriend gropped or someone take a naked picture of her.. Honestly people in the US should really be disgusted with themselves. This is so wrong on many levels.

Where does this police state end?

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

Funny thing is anyone who flies from the UK with a previous criminal conviction has to acquire a VISA from the US Embassy in London. My brother has 3 criminal convictions and gos shopping in America 3 to 4 times a year and has never bothered acquiring a VISA once. In fact most people I know (including myself) have has some sort of conviction and none of them have bothered either.

We're happy with our country and our "restrictions." Maybe you should be disgusted with yourself for trying to tell a nation how to live their lives. Get over it, man. We're not making 3 threads per day talking about how stupid Canada is.

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

ok well lets talk about it Pickle. The US decides "you're only friends of the US if you get body scanners'' so everyone complies. Just like Afghanistan.

My question is where does it end Pickle?

#1336416Post 31 of 94

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

i think that we should just scan everyone and interview them. if the interviewer doesn't think they have passed the interview, or if you forget and bring your pocket knife with you when you walk thru the scanner or have more than 3oz of hairgel with you in your bag you are shot on site. quick and easy, this could help with the backup issues right now in airports too.

That's the thing--it doesn't have to end. You're the only one here complaining about it. You're the only one here calling the US a communist state. The only thing that needs to see end is your bitching about and badmouthing of the US. If you want to see an end to it, just quit reading about and talking about our policies. Then everyone wins!

sorry to all Middle Easterners who might be offended but the ppl who look like terrorists should be pulled aside for additional inspection. until 80yo grandmas try to light their shoes on fire, they should be pulled aside as well :arrow:

Women refuse to go through airport scanners

[quote] A Manchester Airport spokesman said: "Two female passengers who were booked to fly out of Terminal 2 refused to be scanned for medical and religious reasons. "In accordance with the government directive on scanners, they were not permitted to fly.

... The women forfeited their flight and left the airport.

Re: Naked Image Power Being Abused Already

Dunno why ! Dispatches did a great hatchet job on Manchester airport. The security there are great British workers, drink tea, scratch balls and want 5 times the pay. They couldn't even be bothered to do the relevant security checks and just fiddle their check sheets.

The women who went undercover managed to pass their employment checks even though she completely fabricated her job application. What was even funnier was that if the people who checked her CV did their job they would of found out that she was an investigative journalist. This would of also shown up on a Google search:lol:
