Those aren't pics from an actual body scanner, those are actual photos of a nude woman retouched to make it look like scanner photos. These TSA porn photos would be alarming ? if they were real - Kashmir Hill - The Not-So Private Parts - True/Slant

Though it doesn't make the AIT machines any less egregious. Its still a virtual strip search.

Good find. I still stand by the fact those scanners need to go! TSA is out of control.

Get rid of the scanners and adopt a real security plan starting at ports of entry and barring countries will ill intent from entering.

Common misconception! Quickest way to the unemployment line along with a fat TSA fine. Anytime you're on the aft side of the cockpit door, you need TSA screening. Deadheading most definitely included.

Bingo! And instead of sending a 150 million in aid to the offending country, lets return to the good old days of cruise missles to the return addresses of package bombs.

Pilots Association urges airline pilots to opt out of TSA naked body scanners

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders"

Don't know who YOU work for, but at our company employees on company business can bypass security at certain locations/conditions.

I was disagreeing with you several weeks ago, but my opinion has 180'd big time. After further research I am highly against these scanners now. They are absolutely, undeniably beyond ridiculous.

For just once, I'd like to see the TSA pull a pro-active move rather a reactive one.

Good luck with that !
Common sense schould have been the order of the day from the start of this agency and for whatever reason they chose not to use it.
If airlines and pax alike had piped up at the beginning with all the bravo sierra that was going in regards to searches then things might be different today maybe !
