9/11 changed many aspects of life both in the USA and around the world, most noticeably air travel. Travelers are subjected to extensive security procedures such as racial profiling and physical searches. I always pick the queue with the cutest male TSA employee. Not that I'm gay, but if I'm going to be manhandled than I want it done by someone with looks, however Homeland Security has been trying to modernize these dehumanizing intrusions by installing whole-body imaging machines throughout the USA. These devices take 15-30 seconds and reveal everything about the subject to the TSA agent assigned to be the eyes of America. They emit 10,000 times less radio frequency than a cell phone and the images are immediately deleted once the doors are opened by security personnel. Over 40 machines are scattered across the USA with plans for hundreds more, however anti-pornography religious advocates are opposed to the scanners on the grounds that people will be electronically stripped naked, thus opening the possibility of a new XXX market for scanner images of naked Americans.
One opponent said, "We'd be much better off going after bad guys ... and back to pre-9/11 levels of airport security. There's a huge 'cover your ass' factor in politics, but unfortunately, it doesn't make us safer."
Me?
I was in Moscow the other day and a bull dyke security guard was patting down all the attractive women.
And they have a scanner too.
Some perversions are too hard to give up.
