To that person viewing the picture, its nothing more than a very low quality black and white picture of what “may” or “may not” be a person. And like I said over at EOS, 99.4% of the humans in this country should not EVER be seen in the nude. Myself included. Personally, I would find that to be the worst part of having one of these machines in my airport. Worse than being forced to watch Sponge-Bob for hours on end.


It's not a matter of what our bodies look like. It is a sense of modicy that some people have and it is a matter of personal privacy.

This machine demeans a person.

When will TSA break out the Zyklon B?
