Geoff and DMC - thank you for your perspectives from frequent-flyers...especially DMC who made sure to mention that he got to the airport early. I'm with DHS. Scan me, pat me...whatever it takes. I don't try to take tons of sh*t in my carry-on; I hate people who disrupt take-off with jammin' sh*t in the overhead. I'm a casual traveler, but not a dope.

Scan me, pat me, just don't do more than that, unless you're buyin' me dinner. ; ) (With REAL silverware, NOT plastic!!)

I swear, I just want to strip buck naked in line & ask if they have any other things they'd like to see. That or wrap my junk in tinfoil... gotta keep those xrays at bay!

I think the people will decide this one.. :)

TSA came in contact with my junk a few times during the search.. From the front and back.. It was pretty humiliating. If they tried that at a concert I'd be pissed. Light pat down - ok.. But this stuff is just - wow...

If I could take trains - I'd do it..


Did u feel two hands on your shoulders from behind?

The dude doesn't have that big of a package - but it's clearly discernible..
Wait, you're telling me a guy has male parts? This is shocking. I wouldn't be able to figure that out without the help of a scanner.

I was responding to BV's comment - "Doesn't look all that revealing to me."

Yes, you can tell it's a dude, but aside from that there isn't much to see.

How long before celebrity scan pictures start hitting the internet??

For the record I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. As a very infrequent flier I haven't put much thought into it.

I didn't want to get into details - but it looks like the dude hangs to the left and ball is higher then the other.. That's pretty good detail.. More detail then I wish my fellow travelers to have to show..
