Awkward Declaration
Airport requirements are different now. My stance on naked scanning is probably different than most. Why else go to the gym but to let people gaze upon all my hard work? All I ask is that they let me pose first.
As far as Bieber Fever goes, I’m not sure what country you could be entering that would cause any government concern. According to Alexa’s statistics the majority of his traffic comes from Malta, Indonesia, Belgium, Morocco, Israel, and THEN Canada, Mexico, and the United States. You might worry that The Fever is catching but baby, you probably already got it.
Agreed. The hysteria following the nakey scanners is really questionable. Those people must have some other motive for not wanting to be scanned. After all, haven’t we desired the technology for x-ray vision since we were little kids? I say we go with it and wait for the individual-sized product (iPad/iPhone app?) to come out on the market.
Fab comic strip. :D
An X-ray app for the iGadgets?? Now you got me thinking…
um i think there’s several problems with the scanner. the first is that it doesn’t actually help deter terrorists at all. the second is that they have not yet fully studied the result of backscatter radiation, which most likely has bad side effects, and the third is that there’s no clear privacy/security protocol for the pictures taken, and already it’s happened several times that the pictures have leaked. would you want a naked picture of you on the internet, or elsewhere?
the main problem here is that the government is putting retarded TFSA employees in charge of equipment that is acquiring sensitive material. it’s just another way to make the people fall in line, another liberty revoked, and for what? so that you may feel safe?
to quote benjamin franklin: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
