The TSA, on the other hand, is denying those of use who value privacy, and at the risk of being slammed, even modesty, that very right.

If I win the lottery, I promise I will present myself at one of these horrendous machines, refuse and then mount a 4th Amendment challenge on both the reasonableness of such a search and the infringment of the security of my person.

Those who post on MySpace, etc., do so voluntarily; they are not be forced or coerced into disclosing any information about themselves, whether in words or pictures.

Agreed -- Because of what mind-boggling numbers of people believe is their privacy boundaries -- there are none! (your first paragraph), Gen-X and the Millenias don't think your second paragraph is an issue. That's what's really scary. To boot, Gen-X is already getting into positions of authority.

I may take offense to that.... 
But you do have a point in that my generation, while we do care about privacy issues, it's not really on the same plane as previous generations. Maybe we have a differen't definition of privacy.

On a practical level here. At this point its Terminal 4 checkpoint B. Checkpoints A,C,D can all be used and the moving walkways taken to the B gates. Yoiu can be sure that is what I will be doing in the AM if my flight is out of the B gates tommorrow

Agreed. How long do you think it will take before some unmonitored TSA employee takes a snapshot of the monitor's display and sells it for one or two year's worth of salary?

They need to get out more, even just to the video store.
However, if we're taking requests....

That's actually a pretty good question. How would silicone show up on one of those things, and how do they address it?
