I've had a pair of x-ray specs since I was a nipper.

Does the body scanner pick up the explosive in my DD implants?

happy_terd · 03-31-2010, 12:34 PM

My wife tells me that some implants have exploded before.

that is the saddest thing I have ever heard.

As with most thing that go boom Mythbusters have done that (although they said it wouldn't happen because of pressurization in a plane)

How about they replace those scanners with drug and bomb sniffing dogs? Name: emot-woof.gif

It would be more effective, less invasive, and . . . would put a whole lot of unemployed canines back to work.

I like it - it would also be a whole lot more intimidating as well!!

Don't give terrorists ideas. The next trend will be to wrap the bombs in bacon. And people will blame us here at MR for starting it.

Only if they were also delivered by otters and targeted at skwirlls.

The sad thing is if they decided that the only way to appear (I say appear) safe is to stick a finger into the bum of every customer in hopes of finding explosives most of us would go along with it because we are sheep.

"A finger in the bum is worth our safety and not dieing" we would hear.

Companies in the 90's charged a hell more for flights than now, and they had more clients. Now even the surge of low-cost companies doesn't impede people to fly less and take other alternative ways.

Ladies and gentlemen, noone cares enough about terrorists for not flying. Flights were hijacked with big mediatic repercussions in the 70's and that didn't impede the industry from growing a lot in the following decades. In those times before 9/11 they didn't treat you as a criminal at worst or as cargo at best, but as a customer. Now that you're all but humbled down by "security" personnel and bombarded by mutagenous radiation for fear that you have drugs, primarily, or bombs in one of a bazillion cases, people choose not to fly.

The war on drugs seems more a plausible excuse. The reason for which dogs aren't used is simple: dog breeders are no group of special interest with lobby power. If they were, we'd hear unsettling stories about cynophillia much more often, instead of reports of how a Halliburton offspring has gained a contract for installing one full body scanner in all airports in the US' soil.

I was turned back at the airport the other day - waaaay too much dynamite in my underwear

.
I'll probably never be able to fly again.
