So what, who cares? Guess what? We all have the same anatomy.
[Yes, I just used a classic childhood taunting-rhyme to talk about a very adult issue. And it couldn't be more fitting.]
If I hear one more person complain about their privacy being violated due to a body scanner or pat down at an airport, I am going to suggest they google '9-11' footage and watch how easily life crumbles into nothing but a pile of rubble when we resort to the power of metal detectors alone.
I bet the families of those 3,000 people would've loved to have such a technology as they could be enjoying a meal with the person who occupied that now empty seat that haunts their dining room table.
TSA isn't coming into your homes and performing an unwarranted strip search on you. That would be unlawful. Rather, you are choosing to fly. No one is making you travel. Just as no one made you eat that last piece of holiday pie that put a couple more LB's on your waistline that you are now embarrassed for Huey the TSA guy to see via a body scanner. Hey, maybe this will make Americans get back into shape! This would also prevent the unwanted rollover of skin fat from the patron of middle seat 10B. And you thought you were lucky scoring a window seat. Life's funny that way.
I think TSA is onto something bigger here...[pun intended] maybe, just maybe, they have a plan to cure Americans of obesity one body scanner at a time.
Feel violated and don't want the "man" (or TSA woman who has some serious man-features going on) to see the hot-xrayed-version-of-your-bod??
Solution: Get in a car and take a road trip. Hop on an Amtrak or Greyhound. Take a Carnival Cruise...although I hear power isn't guaranteed and you could potentially be lodging next door to a murderer.
So how about you stay at home and the rest of us travel. That way, you can keep that super-secret-anatomy that no one else in this world has, away from TSA and you won't lengthen the wait time of the already congested security checkpoint line with your ridiculous protests.
That's what Michael Scott and I call a win-win-win.
