Watching the TSA squirm over these millimeter scanners is almost entertaining.
They want to do a full body scan, but...err..they have to blur genitals, so you could hide something in your groin region.
They want to scan everybody, but...err...not people under 18, so you could hide something on a kid.
So what do we end up with? We end up with what is, in my opinion, one of the most disgusting invasions of my privacy I could have even imagined and we're not even really benefiting from it because we're so concerned about being immoral (while taking what equates to naked photos of everyone) that we cut some huge massive holes in our security wall.
Awesome.
To me, this feels like a boss that screams up and down about security, then insists that his workstation be able to bypass all of it.

- blahedo 17y agoThere are less than two hundred heads of state in the world, so that by itself doesn't worry me. Imagine, though, how quickly this might drift to immediate family of heads of state... top diplomatic corps officials... people travelling on diplomatic passports....
