Now what has to be done is a survey of the signs.

Where are they placed?

How big are they?

How big are the images?

Are there both front and rear images?

Are the images the sanitized version or are they as seen in the hidden booth?

Are the signs at eye level? Preferably there would be 2 signs, one for shorter individuals and one at a height for taller individuals.

Are the signs available in several languages?

Perhaps I am Pollyanna personified, but I think it was FTers bringing the lack of available of brochures to the attention of the TSA that forced this change.

The downside to this change is that the TSA has tried to absolve itself of any responsibility for making certain that people understand what the virtual strip search machine is. By making the standard notification to be signage, the onus has been passed to the passenger to take notice.

Now it is up to us to make certain the signage is more than adequate and that it is very visible.

Therefore, I ask that everyone who sees one of these signs measures it. You don't need a rule to do that. If you know the measurement of the span of your hand you can make a quick determination of the overall size of the sign AS WELL AS the size of the image.

You know your height. Is the sign easy for you to read or do you have to bend over to read it or crane your neck to read it?

Approximately what size is the font used, i.e., can you read the sign from a distance or did you have to get on top of it to read it?

We have to keep up the pressure.
