That brings up the issue of how much is modesty and privacy worth than safety. And if so, how much further can we go into a person's privacy to further insure safety.

You don’t have to travel by air if you don’t want to.

Just make sure you're strategically placed to watch the monitors as a cute girl passes through. Also dang, you'd be able to tell who was padded or not :-D

Im not too worried about a stranger seeing me naked. These things dont really bother me. Id be more worried about a strip search in person. Then you got a sweat about having clean undies. :)

Makes you wonder what the security guards will mean when they say:
"That guy has some pipe in his pants....."
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

Frankly, I couldn't care less. If someone got turned on by my nude form, cool; if I grossed them out, cool. It's win/win for me.

Yes, it hardly reveals anything. Oooh, its a fuzzy, but anatomically correct (I think) mannequin in a ghostly white. Oooooh, I'd take that over an actual porno any day of the week. :roll:

Amusing watching all the sexless dorks line up for the exploitation of others.

Kinda like peeking at people through cameras while they're dressing/undressing in certain Dressing rooms, only now it would be perfectly legal.

Yeah, that one was cool.

I'm just curious how big a fuss will be made over it.

I heard about this months ago on TechTV..or at least I think it was TechTV... but ya, I heard about this a LONG time ago... the mainstream news media just takes awhile to catch on to things...
Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...
