Airport security is changing. And you probably won’t like it, especially if you’re on the more modest side of things when it comes to baring body parts.
Are you wondering what body parts and airport security have in common? Well, right after the so-called underwear bomber of Christmas 2009 failed to take down a plane, the scramble was on to install full-body scanners in many airports around the country. They basically take a full body xray to be sure you’re not carrying anything you shouldn’t. The scary thing is, these images show… well… everything. It’s the x-ray vision of the comic books of old where people could see through clothing with the proper technology. That technology is here.
The good news is it will be much harder for someone to carry something on board a plane that they shouldn’t. For example, the so-called underwear bomb would have been detected by such a scan. Thankfully, despite not having the body scan in place yet, he was not able, for whatever reason, to bring the plane down.
Are you willing to let your body be x-rayed, showing all your private body parts, in order to fly safer?
