And get rid of the pornoscanners.

And get rid of the pornoscanners.

Domestically in the USA you can skip those if you have TSA Pre/Global Entry. You only have to walk through a metal detector with those.

And I think you can request to get felt up instead of digitally undressed. It's up to you which is more palatable.

Last time I got both

Then might as well pick the former if you'll get it anyway, unless you're into both.

Unless you get randomly selected to

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Even in that case you can opt-out and take a pat down instead. So in every situation you can avoid the pornoscanner, if you so desire.

What airport is scanning people having sex?

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

None, people are just weirded out by the millimeter wave scanners. They think the workers get to see their genitals.

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The workers were able to see your genitals, they just claim that they don't now but we have no real evidence to confirm that.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

true

I'll let them take a picture over getting the, "It's not gay if it's TSA" uncle touchy treatment though

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah if I'm quick enough getting my shoes off so we're all together, I can go through the metal detector with my wife and kid since they almost always let the kid and parents use that over the mmWave machine.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

IDGAF. I'd get buck naked at TSA if needed, just don't fucking touch me. I don't have a problem being naked but I really don't like strange dudes getting up in my business.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, they replaced them with a green checkmark or whatever I think, but someone in the back room can still see the raws.
