naked scanning X-Ray Machine At Heathrow
 
http://www.cnn.com/2004/TRAVEL/11/09...eut/index.html

their computer scans your naked image with low frequency x rays.

from what i read here if you refuse the scan you get manually searched

next thing you know we will be required to board the airplane naked

I hope they do a good job of sanatizing the seats between flights.

Is this a random search or for everyone. We might go through LOndon and then on to Paris. If they want to see my naked tush and get their jolies then so be it!

do they develop the film and give you pictures right away? or do you pick the pics up on arrival? how much do they charge for it? is the 2nd set free? will they x-ray my monkey?

I am not interestd in seeing my touchie. At my age, it brings me no joy. Anmd I haven no hopes of ever getting on the mile high club at my age. If they would like to scope me out, that's fine if they can cut through the nest! But I would not mind seeing what the pilot and stewards are "carrying" as it might give me sweet dreams on the flight. enlightening.

Faina, you made me laugh out loud!

yes, I would like to know - may we keep the pictures?

crefloors Nov 11th, 2004 12:57 PM

Oh my goodness!!!!! LOL LOL..I don't thing the "nest" shows up...mostly bones and items you may have secreted away. I could see if my size 5 was still in there somewhere!!!!!

FainaAgain Nov 11th, 2004 02:05 PM

I called TSA, and they offer a promotional discount: buy set of 3, get 4th free. I need 3 volunteers, who agrees to go in with me?

travelwoman Nov 11th, 2004 02:14 PM

I might consider it

crefloors Nov 11th, 2004 02:14 PM

FianaAgain: count me in!!!!!!

theregoesminerva Nov 11th, 2004 02:16 PM

Will they be able to check for gall stones?

FainaAgain Nov 11th, 2004 02:18 PM

No, Minerva, they only do mammograms, LOL

Budman Nov 11th, 2004 04:54 PM

No pap smears? (I couldn't resist, shame on me.) ((a)) ((b))

degas Nov 11th, 2004 05:09 PM

If they were gentle, I might let them give me my annual "finger wave."

Your bare booty scan could well make it on the World Wide Web before the plane even lands.
You may find more people than usual stopping you on the street saying,
"Do I know you?"

Scarlett Nov 11th, 2004 05:59 PM

platzman, or a stranger will approach you on the street and say, Hey! I have the same kind of birthmark on my bottom too!! :D

Mathieu Nov 12th, 2004 04:34 AM


Or....." Funny, I didn't notice your bald spot ! "

Tallulah Nov 12th, 2004 04:48 AM

Marvellous! That's just the motivation that I need to lose these extra pounds I seem to have gained!!
