you ask that like you need something worse than being forced barefoot in a disgusting floor, going thru an xray machine that haven't been properly documented and having you carefully packed bagage all messed up.
things beyond that are just the icying on the cake.
- zepto 10y agoYes - I think you do need something more than that to become so defeated that you feel trapped and unable to travel. I'm not saying that stuff isn't awful. Just that it's minor compared to other hardships that people routinely overcome.
- nfbush 10y agoSo I should agree to go along with humiliation because other people do? Well that's some fucking logic.
- cglace 10y agoI don't think most people feel humiliated taking off their shoes and going through an xray machine.
- balls187 10y agoIf anything, most people are just upset that they're stuck in hour long lines waiting to go through security. When you visit a mosque or a hindu temple, you are required to remove your shoes. Also being asian, when you visit my house, you are also required to remove your shoes.
- gcb0 10y agoI hope your house is cleaner than an airport security line.
- balls187 10y ago^ probably doesn't wash hands before eating food.
- funnyfacts365 10y agoBecause you can't eat without touching the food with hands... Ler me introduce you to napkins, spoons, forma and knives. Great inventions, those
- nfbush 10y agoI feel humiliated when people strip me down with their xrays and then laugh at them for kicks
- zepto 10y agoHave you ever been stripped at an airport and then had the x-rays laughed at?
- zepto 10y agoNo - I'm just pointing out that you have a choice - the humiliation is not stopping you from traveling. You are doing that to yourself, transforming humiliation into a more diminished life.
- tenpies 10y ago> going thru an xray machine that haven't been properly documented Don't forget data retention. Those pseudo-nude pictures of all of us (including your children) are probably stored somewhere for perpetuity.
- balls187 10y agoThey stopped using high-fidelity pictures in 2013. Next time you go through the back-scatter xray, turn around and look at the monitor. It's now a picture of a generic human that shows any area that the agent's should investigate.
- calvano915 10y agoBecause what is displayed to the scanner agent is totally and definitely all the device will capture and retain...promise :D
- gcb0 10y agothey don't even claim that. they now advertise that the high res picture is only seen by specialists that are in a room without view to your face, so thet don't know who they see butt naked. this was explained on the posters in the line.
- balls187 10y agoI guess it's two sides of the same coin. I wear socks when I travel. In the summer, I run barefoot outside through our gravel parking lot to toughen up my feet. I don't travel enough by plan to worry about the health effects of an xray machine, but I do drive my car daily. And well, I don't spend a lot of time carefully packing my suitcase. So if that's the worst you get from the TSA, well who cares, you're experiencing the same things everyone else who travels in the US.
