The use of Body Scanners which reveal intimate body parts...


Recommended Posts

It does me, but least they'll be able to tell me which pocket me bloody phone's in.

But seriously, yes, it bothers me but there is nothing we can do about it if we want the freedom to travel.

Already every time I go to see rellies in USA I get my fingerprints checked and my irises checked.

Yes but there's a difference between having one's irises/fingerprints checked and having ones bosoms/fanny scrutinized! No?

Practical as always...with added humour...unfortunately the whole thing actually petrifies me (melodramatic I know...but it does)...oh dearie dearie me...

It's no big deal really. Not as if they are asking you to strip off! The scanned images aren't so explicit in detail anyway. The objective is too look for explosives etc and not to ogle at the person.... Besides I've nothing to hide, other than my tiny willy.

Exactly! The very idea of airport staff pointing and laughing at your tiny willy! Oh, it's too terrible to contemplate.

I get wound up enough in Somerfield . Queuing and hanging about at airports is enough to turn my pubes grey, not to mention incompetent staff and the ignorant public, all whilst paying good money for the privilege!! Pah

Now, a private jet would be altogether different ..

You say that but:


"The scans have been described by critics as a 'virtual strip search', outlining every contour of the body in detailed anatomical images".

For me, being viewed in a body scanner doesn't bother me, in fact the thought of being 'virtually' strip searched sounds quite interesting! I can imagine adopting muscleman poses (without the muscles, unfortunately). Or am I just an extrovert?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
