We’re all porn stars now, thanks to airport security

What's the problem, is there that much shame in your came you're afraid to be seen? Think of all the time and energy this will save not to mention increased safety, If it's truly too much for you to handle there's always the bus and self help videos.

"Attention Airport Passengers...

Testicles...

That is all"

Peter Griffin

I prefer this to the woman at the airport feeling me up and tugging at my underwire for a very long minute...

not hittable.

"This is for the security of every passenger...what's wrong with them? I love being nude..."-JB

I don't think she is a porn star tho, Look at that picture, she looks like a monster.

haha Atalanda! you're exactly right.

this is a GIANT infringement of human rights! yah so your line will go a bit faster. what about all the ways this can be exploited?

this, just like most American decisions, will create more problems than solutions.

I don't really care if airport screeners seen me naked if it is in the name of airline safety but I sure don't want to see that bluish horrible monsterish version of my grandma naked ever again.

thank god, im rocking a foot long! i think this i a great idea!

I have no problem with this, if it saves lives and my time. I cant even see the face on this image, so privacy should not be an issue.

wait, so they're gonna do that to kids too? i can think of a perfect type of person for that job then.

Ooooo La la thats hot! i should go through airport security more ;)

This will not find the new body bombs now being used by terrorists. They are made with bi-liquid explosives and shoved up the ass of a suicide murderer then detonated by remote controle.
My solution to this new form of bomb is to have people walk through a bomb proof box one at a time and use electronics to activate any type of device within the box so that the suicide murderer then blows up inside the box without hurting anyone else.

They should allow people to be voluntarily naked in airports and during air travel. Yes, that's my stance.

Being forced to undress can be demeaning, unless you're into that sort of thing; being scanned in this fashion seems awfully intrusive, considering one wears clothes so as to NOT reveal their body in such a way.

I don't mind being naked. Actually, I quite like being naked. Now, if I were the only naked person in an airport, then I'd feel a bit uncomfortable. But if I was merely one of many nude travelers, I wouldn't have much of an issue with it. Plus, the airport bar inevitably would be more fun, too.

It doesn't make much sense to mandate all the covering up just to authorize ways to see through it all.

hey
She has a gun !

At first glance this may sound like a bad idea. But really, who really enjoys standing in airport lines? Not to mention, if this is optional then I don't see why it would be a problem to those who volunteer to go through with it.

And as for pervs getting off on checking out 'naked' people. Really? Just scroll back up to the photo. Looking at an alien Sinead O'Conor doesn't sound like a win situation.

@Ares, an enormous Denny's. Quite the analogy you have there.

i wont be flying then. ha

But it can't see the 13 heroin filled condoms up my asshole, correct?

*phew*

This sounds like such a great idea. It will speed up the long airport security checks that are currently going on. No more taking off all your clothes in front of people. This is so much better. Its lame that people are upset about this.

Sounds like a fun job :)

Sexual harassment lawsuits just WAITING to happen.

Who knows - maybe it'll spur some frequent-flyers to get in shape for their favorite Body Scanner!

niice, ive always wanted to be a porn star.

Hahahaha... wait, seriously? People are freaked out by this? Come -on-.
They are trying to keep us safe and all these people can think about is "they might see my blue-tinted, un-detailed, bald body"?

Christ.

Edit: Oh and I'd like to point out that the title for this article is totally unfounded. There is nothing sexual about these x-rays.

Right, because I'm sure people are dying to have that job. Have you been in an airport recently? It's like being in an enormous Denny's.

They aren't selling the images or anything, do you complain that your doctor has to see you naked in order to fully assess your health? Why should it matter if you have to be quasi-naked in an equally private environment to be sure you have a safe flight?
