Helping TSA: An Alternative to Body Scans

Finally - A great alternative to TSA body scanners at airports . . ..

The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.

It's a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of a long and expensive trial. Justice would be swift. Case closed!

You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system . . . "Attention standby passengers we now have a seat available on flight number XXXX. Shalom!"

Ozark Guru: The above was posted as humor; but it does seems that some techno geek could come up with this type of approach.

And don't give me, "terrorists or stupid people carrying, consuming or putting explosive devises in their body cavities have rights." Terrorists and / or stupid people with explosive devises attempting to or even flying have cost us enough: lives, time, money, economic disruption, anxiety and expansion of government intrusion. But in all honesty, what I am most unforgiving of the terrorist for is their being responsible for the present sanctioned big government TSA actions to be able to fondle - make sexual contact - or take, record and view pornographic images of my 3 young granddaughters, 2 young grandsons, my daughter-in-laws and my wife.

Does anyone else see a conflict? Warrantless wiretaps of foreigners was bad but fondling and pornographic imaging of a free and independent American citizens (our family, friends, and neighbors) by the U.S. Government is okay. Sending military to a Afghanistan where many Afghans do not know about 9-11 due to lack of communications and see us as invaders like the previous British and Russians armies is okay, but putting military on the U.S. border to stop all infiltrating illegals - many of whom are terrorists and criminals - is bad. Water boarding suspected foreign terrorists and requiring them to be tried by military tribunal is bad. But fondling or naked imaging of our grandchildren, our children, our spouses, active duty military, veterans, fire fighters, law enforcement, government workers (many with clearances far above any TSA employee), civic and community leaders, pastors, priests, rabbis, imams, teachers, professors, doctors, nurses, business owners, elected officials (except of course those flying Air Force One, Two and Pelosi's jet) members of Congress, Judges, Governors, attorney generals, Mayors, etc. is okay. Calling a lie the truth does not make it true.

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." - 1984 by George Orwell
