Enough already with the whining about full-body scans and occasional patdowns of your naughty bits. Blame the terrorists if you have a problem with this. They're the ones who thought it would be a great idea to blow up a plane with their underwear.
Look, I'm not thrilled about it either but I have to fly sometimes and I just deal with it. I'd rather give the Homeland Security folks a thrill with my hot naked X-rays or even submit to a bit of lesbo love if it means they catch an actual BVDs Bomber. Sometimes, the loss of liberty is the price you have to pay for freedom!
My only kvetch with the full-body scans is that they're somewhat less full-body than advertised. They don't, after all, penetrate into your deepest bowels which means, of course, that the next terrorist attack - hopefully unsuccessful - will involve swallowing explosives and detonating them somehow. I hear you can do that now with cell phones - use them to set off a bomb. Hey, why are we still allowed to carry cell phones on airplanes?!?!
I guess the full-body scans are kind of embarrassing if you have a less-than-hot body, which isn't a problem for me, of course, but hey, a fat guy can blow up a plane just as easily as anyone else. And there's always the danger that they'll wind up on some porn site somewhere, although why anyone would want to look at X-rays of your average American is beyond me. I have to wonder if we're paying HS personnel enough to do this.
REAL Americans won't have a problem with this. Only freedom-hating terrorist sympathizers will bitch and moan. And hey, if you haven't had any 'action' in awhile maybe you'll get lucky and get a free grope! Maybe you should even ask for a phone number ;)
