Next step, the security checkpoints at airports get to rape people at will. You gotta break their spirit so they don't even think about smuggling drugs, people, weapons or bombs on board.

Are you out of your mind? The United States has one of the highest numbers of coastal metropolitan cities in the world, the kind that attract and produce multitudes of attractive women. Every time I fly out of San Diego airport (which is about monthly), out of every, say, 50 women I see, at least half are definitely attractive and say 12 could probably model underwear if they wanted to.
You must be a real shut-in. Go troll somewhere else.

Yeah, I'm not sure how things are in the midwest, but out here near the coasts, the women are attractive. Even in my retarded little suburban sprawl that I live in thats smack dab in between Los Angeles and San Diego, the women are attractive.
Maybe its just a California thing.

This guy could come from anywhere, he might even live here in the states. But when you join a civilized discussion forum and expect to get away with something as backwards, incorrect, and utterly ignorant as <i>insinuating that America doesn't have one of the most aesthetically beautiful populations in the world</i>... You're really just asking to be reeducated. Barring the slim odds that you were completely joking, Ratonetwothreetwoone, get a clue, and get out of my thread(s).

I don't see the big deal about the scanner showing stuff in the original format... I mean come on. "Oh noes! A stranger will see my bits!"
It's just skin for hecksake, I'd go through it without giving a care but then again I guess not everybody is comfortable about their body. Still, it's not as if they're projecting the image on a big screen or something, it's just one security guy or girl.

you people wouldnt understand a joke if... you were a psychology major and interviewed it and it told you all its feelings...
i live in illinois...
and we're not just talking about the women, men have to get checked too... honestly i couldnt care less how fat a nation is on average, i was just basing my comment off the fact that so many idiots attack america for being "lolfattestevar"... my post was sarcasm...
every nation is ugly.. and every nation has a few hot girls here and there... i find east asian and indian girls to be the hottest, judging by the few hot one's ive seen...
but that's not the point.. the point is that you, sir, are taking thing's too seriously.. i usually defend america, but i cant be so sure about you west coasters anymore...
elitist prick...
Also, regardless of what or how many women you find attractive, you gotta admit that the American accent is just not an endearing part of ye olde american woman.
Although maybe I need to observe them in their natural habitat to truly understand it, so far all I've seen are foreigners and what's on TV. Perhaps a flight is in order....
Edit: Which brings us to full circle to the initial point. If they're going to see me naked at a checkpoint, I'll wear my saucy lingerine.
Learn to inject u's into your humour you goddamn seppos!

Stick your humour with your armour and your aluminium (...and night and through, even though I prefer those over nite and thru) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> .
Generally most visual accents in the US stem from a midwestern accent, because when they were starting up radio stations they found it was the most easily universally understood (I've been told it's very nasally, myself, but I find people from Boston/New York have trouble with 'er' making it an 'ah' sound..., and southerners just have all kinds of crazy stuff going on, sometimes). There's just something about English accents on women though, they either sound really nice or really nasty (...to me, anyway).
I can assure you, even in the midwest there is the occasional 'good-looking' person (and an abundance of fat people and an abundance of 'normal-looking' people as well). You might also want to look at this a bit more psychologically: you're really only going to remember the really pretty people and the really ugly people. Just like people claimed there were more children born on full-moons, but it turned out that it was just easier for people to notice that their child was born on a full moon than on a waxing gibbous.
...that article needs more scientific and ethical analysis - is it as harmful as X-Rays, how's it work, can we see a sample photo of 'blushing realism' (or whatever it says), should people be wearing a leaden helmet while using it, do they expect an airport for a city of 50,000 to afford a machine that costs more than $100,000, is such a machine necessary if it's simply an option (at the person's discretion) instead of a patdown, how does it see through clothes and not skin, is this an early April Fools hoax, how much electricity does it use, can it be universally applied to potentially search luggage as well, and - most importantly - does it come in goggle form?
So what signs do they put up around this thing? "We can see through your clothes, resistence is futile"?
Getting back on topic, are people warned about these things? I don't know how it works in the US, but in the UK at least, if you're being watched via CCTV or something, you have to be *told* you're being watched via CCTV, or it's illegal.

its a gigantic machine with little footprints. your asked to stand infront of it face it and it takes a picture then you turn and it takes another picture. its not exactly a x-ray camera. hell they showed the x-ray pictures on TV and it wasnt THAT revealing i mean sure you can see stuff but its just to speed up the process of checking people. what would you rather have some guy feeling your crotch or just looking at a picture of your crotch

Last time I got patted down in an airport, I got to choose whether it was a male or female officer that did it, and the woman was hot.
But you're right I guess, the machine isn't that bad. But I still think it's a lot of money and "ooo technology" that's not particularly needed.
its an attempt to make people more comfortable and safe.

I've never felt so safe as when the media is screaming "TERRORIST PLOTS" and the government gets to cavity search me at any opportunity. Certainly the world would be a safer place once those brown skinned schemers are kept in line, lord knows I can't go anywhere without one of thems trying to blow me up.
ps: i has a brownish skin tone.
just so you know, i'm 10/11 on nonrandom security screenings at the airport. the one time i wasn't screened, there was a fire outside (airport parking bus) and we all had to evacuate. then i got screened as we went through security again.

IT WAS YOU!"!!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
that must suck tbh, to get treated that way, and ofc they say "oh its random" when cmon, anyone knows different, i think it must be worse in america then england if im honest, cos, and i mean this with NO offence, you americans do tend to get very over dramatic about things..
but as far as the machine goes, i wouldnt have thought they have to tell you anything, you were getting scanned for contraband things before, your getting scanned for contraband things now, whether they see your pee pee or not <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
They won't have to say anything to me, tbh.. I've got my man thong and runway-walk ready if ever I should fly through Phoenix.
also: i'm a brown canadian living in kansas (woooo!) it's true. these guys get worked up over everything. i couldn't pull my mp3 player out without catching an eye from TSA at the airport.

uhh, i dunno how this contributes to the thread but since were discussing subjective opinions and every fact is based on what we *think* we *might* *perhaps* recall, i gotta say that estonia has the most aesthetically beautiful people in the world. out of 50 women you see in estonia, a 100% are attractive and about 95% could model underwear if they wanted to

damn you obscure european countries! DAMN YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL WOMEN THAT LINE YOUR STREETS!
(...I find Eastern European women to be the most beautiful, personally)
And...
Isn't England the place where you can no longer board a flight with a laptop as a carry-on? It was one of the reasons I decided against British Airways for my future Europe-bound travel (...that and the limited luggage allowances - plus transferring in London probably wouldn't be that fun).
I thoroughly <i>enjoyed</i> how I couldn't check my luggage more than 12 hours in advance for my return flight from Europe last time (...oh, and the fact you get to go to a second customs/security check for US-bound flights, where they ask you really technical questions like "did you pack your own luggage?" or "could anyone have slipped something into your suitcases without your knowledge?" or even "did you allow anyone else to handle your luggage?" - "yea, only the airport personnel when I checked my bags 2 minutes ago, [expletive]..." (of course, you can't really say that, because then they'd get all uppity).
Still, I get to bring a laptop on board, potentially bringing my flight into an irreversible dive, from which we would all perish - and it only needs to go through about 3 X-Ray machines.
