So some of you may read the news once in a while. If you haven't let me introduce you to the body scanner. This thing is designed to basically see through your clothing in order to check for contraband. Lately it has been causing quite an uproar at the Airports. The argument seems to be that it is an invasion of privacy. It seems funny to me that people wine and cry when some goofball terrorist sneaks on a plane and lights his panties on fire. But yet we also seem to pout when the airport tries to do something about it. Yes I understand the current system is flawed and adding expensive scanners probably wont solve the problem. However, don't complain about your plane blowing up when your not willing to have some 45 yr old over weight security guard take a look at your goods for 2 seconds. I see this going a pretty much 1 way ways. You have the choice to fly, that is your freedom. When you ride the coasters at Disney land you give up the right to do what you want. You don't follow the rules they boot you from the ride. You want to fly, follow the rules and get on the plane. If scanning your tiddly bits is a rule then so be it. I take that any day over the Taliban setting off a blue dart in my face. For all you flyers out there, have a happy flight and a cancer filled X-ray scan.
