I heard the scanners were all on the internet so you could just give them your email address and they'll can CC you on it when they post all the images on line

Do they have naked pics of Kate Middleton?

I would bet that she does not need to pass through such mundane things as security checkpoints! They would be a royal pain in the neck for her

The patdowns have been generating a lot of discussion on Twitter and blogs. Haven't heard much about the photos. I wish people would relax. If we can get them to give us a copy, those of us who want naked photos before everything starts to droop will get them for free. And as far as patdowns go, that's the closest thing to foreplay us 41 year-old married women can get. Stop knocking it.
Umm... wow, gravity where you are must be lighter than where I am. I only have three years on you, and gravity droop has been going on for a while, here. Plus...well.... (how to put this delicately)....I have three years on you, I'm married, and ....
Spoiler:

I get plenty of foreplay, thanks, don't need their help!


Don't click the spoiler if you don't want TMI!

Maybe you should...
Or you could try...
Perhaps if there were...
Have you thought about...

I give up...nothing I want to write comes out sounding right...

Another thought; maybe a bunch of guys should legally change their names to Pat Downs and hang out at the airport...

I'm thinking what's called for here is a flash mob... either a bunch of people who are travelling at the time all strip off near security at the same time, or turn up just wearing macs and flash at the same time...

btw The video was taken off of Youtube so I couldn't see it.

Oh, I think that is perfect! Which airport are we meeting at?

(Just to clarify: a mac IS a what we call a raincoat over here, right? Because I don't want to be embarrassed if I'm wearing the wrong flashing outfit.)
