Do you want the bad news, or the bad news?
The bad news is that the TSA is still insisting on the right to look at electronic pictures of your wife and children's genitals. Or failing that, to fondle said genitals.
The other bad news is that these same scanning measures are actually astonishingly easy to defeat if you're trying to smuggle in contraband. Don't believe me?
Watch this amazing video where the guy smuggles a metal case through multiple security sections.
What's his trick?
He has to sew it into a pocket on the side of his shirt and put the case in there. That way the case shows up as a black object against a black background.
Yes, it's that easy.
Yes, a metal detector would have done a better job.
Yes, this is what one billion dollars of government purchased scanners gets you - they can see your child's penis, but not a metallic object that's not placed against the skin.
Fire them all.
Update: The TSA decides to get ahead of the story by issuing a lame "ha ha, look at that viral video" post that does everything but deny the substance of the original claim. I treat this as confirmation that the original video is correct. Also, read through the dozens of comments on the TSA post absolutely caning the guy for his bull$***. Comedy gold!
