that the surveillance of U.S. Citizens by the Bush administration goes beyond his job description, but what are the people's representatives doing about it other than ineffective lip service?
But I would like a list of all those points I missed about the article. It was Bonnie Erbe that published the pictures, not me.
But this all did come about because a handfull of mostly Saudis did board 4 U.S. airplanes and kill everybody in all 4 of them in addition to many more people in the buildings they destroyed.
If there is a better solution to trying to prevent another shoe bomber from boarding yet another airplane, the NSA should certainly be apprised of it.
Heaven forbid that a child of yours or mine should board a plane with someone concealing an explosive device.

The photo of the scan shown is not the woman who wrote the story. Its a sample scan of a security agent.
Personally, I couldn't care less if they see all my stuff, if it gets me thru their security "circus" faster. Remember, its mostly theatre...not security. It's designed to make everyone feel safer...not be safer.
If selected for additional screening...Ask 'Why?"..demand an answer. If told to get in a machine, be bright enough to ask what it does, and how...before you get in. If the agent doesn't know, ask for a supervisor.
Buy some special traveling underpants that say "kiss my a**" and wear them for every trip....just in case.
My only concern is the radiation level...but then I use a microwave every day too.
Get over it. Its only skin...you only live once, smile and enjoy it

Several counter-culture thoughts:
Somebody will probably make a fortune selling some kind of special underwear that supposedly blocks the "view" of this technology.
Several very well-endowed men are going to just "love" the idea of being screened.
Read 'em and weep, boys and girls.
Put all these on the internet and let the middle-schoolers google away and ponder the world they are growing up in.

Hillbilly Bill misses all the points totally and is just beiing a perverse smart-ass. The American federal government tells monstrous lies in order to remove privacy and many civil liberties and harm its citizens at will. No one should put up with this; and the whole TSA should be shut down and reconstituted without its uncontrolled thuggery.

But after clearing the airport, she then goes to the beach in a bikini that is much more titilating than that awful image that did not penetrate her panties--it's unclear if it did penetrate her bra.
On the other hand, millions of women would give anything to have a body look that good on or off the beach or in an airport.
But the real question is vanity more important than safety with suicidal nuts boarding planes with explosives hidden in their shoe or anywhere else?
And why did this woman obtain these images and make them very much public that had previously only been seen by one trained and screened individual in an undisclosed location?
Would you do that?
