Poll: Would you prefer to fly on an airline with Full-Body Security Scans?

[240 is Back]

Additionally, would you even be willing to pay $20 more per flight for this x-ray service, if it meant you KNEW nobody would be taping explosives to legs or detonators to underwear, as we saw in Detroit?

[Skip8282]

I'll take the full body scan...but no getting jealous when I go through, 240.

[tonymctones]

scan me baby, honestly if it was cheap and effective why the shit not?

have female scanners for women and male scanners for men

"but no getting jealous when I go through, 240."

In all seriousness, I think it's a tough issue that has the potential to take us down a dangerous road.  It's easy for me to say yes because Uncle Sam already knows everything and anything about me.  But, for people who haven't been through clearance checks and are not accustomed to being searched on a regular basis, and, more importantly, have not consented to such - it provides for a huge problem.

The potential for abuse is high, IMO.  Get an immature TSA guard who decides to post the shit on the internet...well, you see where I'm going.

I think the people doing the security should be near-naked too.  They're standing there in boxers with a clear-plastic overcoat - they ain't posting shit online, that's for sure.  nowhere to hide the camera.

Hmmm...the female security too?

[Eyeball Chambers]

I'd rather fly on an airline where everyone was armed.   

[MB_722]

Id rather fly private, bypass security and screw the rest of you plebeians

[The Showstoppa]

Just have an all nude airline.

[Soul Crusher]

Didnt Hooters haver an airline?

[pedro01]

I'd be fine with it as long as there were no potential health side effects with the scan.

I travel a lot - I wouldn't want to be subject to something like x-rays every time.

[Hedgehog]

I am against it.

Because it's just another step towards a total Police State.

Where our personal integrity is taken away from us.

Fight the cause of the problem instead.

Ask the question why people are terrorists.

Then try to go from there.

looks like it's just me and you standing alone on this 2 votes. Something we've always agreed on I guess.

Thats fine in a vacuum. 

However, when you learn the the govt is completely incompetent, incapable, and negligent in preventing known or likely terrorists from boarding the plane, I have to unfortunately side with the screening devices unless I am permitted to be armed.

I can't hear you.

[Soul Crusher]

I can't hear you.

My point is that while no one wants to undergo additional screening, what choice do we unfortunately have now that we have learned the govt is incapable and icompetent in screeening for terrorists with what is already in place? 

We need to place blame where blame is due on this - the radical savage animals who seek to blow us up and murder us. 

[powerpack]

Oh please if some one knows how the system works they will get a bomb in anyway.
A bomb does not always have to look like a bomb or need metal parts.
Not all bombs need nitrates the things sensors look for.
The present security does not even pick up small quantities of metal.
I had body piercings till recently and it was never ever picked up at airport security ever ( I flew 34 times this year) even a gold mine I worked on for 2 weeks where I was checked every time I left never picked up the piercings (the thickest was 6 gauge stainless)

You have to have a balance of security and efficiany and the realisation that is some one clever enough really wants to they can bring down a plane.

I'm with 333386 here.

I think the non-xray plane would be full of fat people, pround people, and terrorists.
The xray plane would be full of ppl 100% confident that nobody got on board with some shit taped to their undies.

The question has been asked. A million times. As long as Islam exists, terrorism will as well. Pretty cut and dry.

Full body scans to board an airplane does not lead to a police state. If you don't like them, don't fly. Flying on an airplane isn't a right.

[MRDUMPLING]

Why are Hugo, Hedgehog, and I the only ones against this?  Don't any of you read?  Shit is going down that we are just bending over and taking.  I don't know why I'm getting mad, I guess the writing is on the wall for this country.
