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!

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.

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?

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?"
