Official prediction thread of when Body-Scanners will be unconstitutional

Can I rent a room in your bunker?

You're no safer now than you were the morning of 9/11/2001, FYI. Spend as much of our money as you want on these stupid screening machines and employing retards to run them-- if someone wants to bring down a plane, they're going to do it.

Bunker is full...but I agree with you...if you read my post, you'd see that I said:

Personally, airport security is already a PITA and a joke designed to comfort the sheeple...and doesn't really address potential security issues, but until people are willing to accept the kinds of security measures that would TRULY make flying as safe as it can possibly be, band-aid measures are all that will ever be permitted.
The various airlines won't tolerate stronger security if it means a loss of passengers, or if it means slowing down air cargo shipments, so all the gubmint can do is make it look like they're doing something...without actually doing anything.

I said "as safe as it can possibly be" because even if every particle that goes onto an airplane is properly screened, if every worker who gets near an airplane is properly screened and watched every second by 10 people, if every passenger and member of the flight crew is fully strip searched and cavity searched, it's still a relatively simple thing to bring down an airplane. There are thousands of Stinger surface-to-air missile floating around on the black market, especially in the more "unsavory" parts of the world...if the US can't stop thousands of tons of drugs from entering the country illegally, who the hell believes they could stop these from entering the country?
One day, right after 9-11, I pointed out to a couple of CHP officers the perfect place to bring down 2 inbound jets at SFO one day, complete with an explanation of how to do it and how to get away...You'd have thought I had admitted to being on the grassy knoll...
A couple of months later, I happened to be in the area I told them about, and I saw that access to that area had been shut down...at least enough to make it more difficult. (still could be done from a small boat in the bay, but that also brings its own problems.)

NOTHING in this life is totally safe...especially travel, whether it's by airplane, train, or automobile.
I have no problem with the government trying to eliminate as many potential threats as possible, but I still know that "shit happens," often when you least expect it...

I give it 2-3 years. Orlando, Florida saved 35,000 images already! Such a good idea!

Those are from the old scanner, not the new ones that produce high resolution pornographic quality images they are putting up now.

The point though is they promised the images could not be saved or distributed yet here are 35,000 of them from a Florida courthouse alone

If airports are really investing that much money into these body scanners, I'm surprised some software can't be written that recognizes potentially harmful objects. Then when those are *detected*, the option to save an image is presented. Why would the manufacturers even allow image saves of nonthreatening passengers?

This seems like a simple fix to me.

Exactly. There is 0 reason to save those images.

If it doesn't happen in 2011 it will never happen.

Im hoping this s a parody of what the Chinese video would look like? This can't honestly be something that aired over there.

I dont' believe airports can use the same software that creates a "sexy" image of the customer
