Besides the privacy issues this all seems like such a stupid waste
One other thing, those bdo's told me that in approx 2 years we would not have a choice that the "nude o scope" will be required. To which I told them I've taken my last airline flt. when that happens.
all jewelry has to be removed????? you have got to be freaking kidding me. it's bad enought that my wallet and passport go thru the ex-ray machine and are out of my sight (albeit in my inside coat pocket but i digress) but they want folks to put their jewelry in the little grey cup???? next thing you know, the tsa is gonna say to put all jewelry in one's checked luggage to speed up the screening process.
give me an effing break and what are they gonna do when "prince albert" goes thru the nude-o-scope? ask him to remove it? sheesh
yes, the nude-oscopes will become mandatory* but if it does become the case where all jewelry must be removed, i hope the media has a field day ripping the tsa a new one as where i can and do understand the need for more efficient security methods, this is a joke and a disaster ("my gold necklace is missing") waiting to happen
*until then, "i respectfully decline to use this machine as it is still optional, thank you".
