Call to arms.

Watching Fox News (shut up, don't want to hear it) just now Lieberman and the rest of the Government officials and Representatives on the show are pushing the WBI.

Contact your Representatives and let them know they will lose your vote if they allow the further intrusion of the Nude-O-Scope style WBI.

Refuse the WBI at all costs.

Let your Reps know dogs are the most effective, most non-intrusive and most cost effective way to detect explosives.

Or ETP. Or ETD.

Of course, my representative is in a safe district, and didn't have my vote in the first place. (In fact, the district is so safe that the opposing political party didn't even bother to field a candidate ... I had to vote for one of the obscure also-ran candidates in protest ...)

Far better to attempt to persuade one's representatives if at all possible ...

Whole Body Imager. It is the device that allows the TSA to see under your clothes. It is also known as the Nude-O-Scope.

Is Senator Lieberman going to see to it that WBI's are installed throughout the entire world?

Damn, that's rather pornographic. If you were to show this on TV, censors would give it an X-rated rating!!!

Yep. Do you think that 98% of the people think that the device is just dandy, because that is what the TSA is claiming.

Well, that's kind of like asking Playboy if someone in a nude pose is acceptable or not...

Heard a story this afternoon about a newer type of WBI - that is excellent at detecting explosives AND drugs.
