X-Ray Vision: Not Just for Superman Anymore!

Jun 6, 2008 | Tags:

Because going through airport security isn’t nerve-racking enough, bigger airports are going to start using body-scanning machines that let security personnel see what yo’ momma gave you.

As for smaller airports? They’ll just make you go naked!

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has started using body scans on randomly chosen passengers in Los Angeles (oh, great), D.C., Baltimore, Denver, Albuquerque and at New York’s Kennedy airport. Airports in Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas and Miami will be added this month.

The TSA says it protects privacy by blurring passengers’ faces and deleting images right after posting on the Internet viewing. Yet the images are detailed, clearly showing a person’s gender. “You can actually see the sweat on someone’s back,” a TSA director said.

Translation: They’ll also know if someone’s been skipping their Brazilian appointments.

Oh yeah, I’m sure the people will be “randomly chosen”: “Um, ma’am? Could you go through the scanner again? This time walk a little slower. Great, thanks, but we need you to go through again and walk sideways with your arms raised above your head. Thanks, but we still seem to be missing something. Could you go through one more time, and bend over…?”
