Haven't heard about the TSA scanners in a while
Found this gem on the P&CE board.
ETA: I haven't flown since they started being used. Has anyone come across the scanners in any airports?
Re: Haven't heard about the TSA scanners in a while
I've been scanned twice. :-
I haven't heard about the story you linked above. Interesting...
I've flown 4 roundtrips since the scanners became such a hot topic. Haven't even seen them in operation, even at originating airports where I know they are (like San Diego and Washington DC). I guess I've been lucky. I would still refuse to be scanned, if required/asked. (and they do still require obviously pg ladies to go through, btw...my friend's 20 wk pg sister was just scanned coming out to her sister's early February wedding...she asked if it was even safe and the all-knowing TSA said, "of course!" Like they have a clue...grrrr....)
And stories like the posted are more of what I feel I've been saying all along - these machines don't make us any safer. But, lets just keep padding the pockets of the owners of them so a bulk of the American public can have a false sense of "security." *sigh...
Yup, meanwhile wasting so many taxpayers dollars.
I've seen them in operation, but never been picked for one. We were flying home from Indianapolis and once you got past the license/boarding pass checker you had the choice of going right or left in two different security lines. Only people who went left appeared to be picked for the scan, so we went right. I also noticed that the first two people chosen for it were blond, thin, young and pretty. Hmm.
Whatever happened to the alternative they were developing that had people appear as stick figure images with only things that were unusual actually pictured? I saw Obama's budget had more funding for the original kind.
