Would you rather have a pat down or a 3D body image scan at an airport?

[Haole Girl]

If you had to pick one, (and "neither" is not an option), which would it be?

:shrug:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I'll take the pat-down, thank you.

I don't want some pervy TSA character looking at me nekkid. Not that they'd actually want to, but the whole idea is beyond creepy.

[Haole Girl]

5. Obviously, you haven't had a pat down by....

...pervy "ankle man" or "boob lady" like I have. :-(

[AlCzervik]

7. i have, i asked her if she was going to at least buy me dinner afterward.

[Haole Girl]

12. I asked for her name the next time I went through that particular airport

And when she asked why I explained that if it takes any of them 15 seconds to figure out my boobs are real they have a problem and need to be reported! I'm surprised I haven't ended up on the "No Fly List" yet. :eyes:

[DarkTirade]

2. What, no anal probe option?

What a gyp... :P

[Haole Girl]

6. That's next year

:P

[DarkTirade]

13. Fuel costs with make the cost of airline tickets prohibitive by then though...

ah well. I guess dinner and a movie is cheaper already anyway.

[SPKrazy]

22. no, the pat down will be extra

:P

[AlCzervik]

3. that would make a nice and unusual christmas card.

[Haole Girl]

8. Hmm...

with some modifications, it would! lol

[AlCzervik]

10. now you're thinking, maybe some ornaments---somewhere.

[Haole Girl]

15. Or...

Mistletoe!
:rofl:

[Drum]

4. Oh, pat-down definitely. nt

[Haole Girl]

9. Really?

You like those, huh? :hi:

[Drum]

16. Oh sure!

But I'd consent to the scan if they gave me a print-out...would be fun to have. :hi:

[crim son]

11. Either way you lose, eh?

I'll take the scan, but won't fly for a year after they are introduced; that way my body will be completely unremarkable (not that it isn't now).

[Pierre.Suave]

14. ...

DO I need to tell you how beautiful you are again?

:hug:

[crim son]

17. No, my kindest friend.

You have outdone yourself already. :hug:

[Pierre.Suave]

18. Impossible...

I will never finish doing that.

:hug:

[crim son]

19. Chivalry isn't dead!

:loveya:

[SPKrazy]

21. Can I Pat You Down?

:P

:rofl:

[crim son]

25. I SAID I'd take the scan!

:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

26. You Lose

I give good pat downs :D

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

24. No

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

28. Just be sure to

wear lead clothes :P

[SPKrazy]

20. I'm thinking a pat down

or a 3d body scan if that's the norm

don't metal detectors work well enough?

They seemed to like to pat down my son when he was 2, and me too... scared him to death, pissed the hell out of me to see them doing that to him while more suspicious people than my 2 year old walked through unchecked.

[Fleshdancer]

23. scan

both are ridiculous, but being touched by a stranger seems more intrusive to me.

[mokawanis]

27. pat down for me but

i might go for the scan if they give me a cool souvenir pic to keep...or if I could somehow print a message on my lower back, like "stop staring at my ass".

[Carnea]

29. Does this gun make my ass look fat... oh scan.

I had the air blowing on me thing a few years ago no big deal.

[Pierre.Suave]

30. If shes hot

I will take teh pat down...

:evilgrin:

[khashka]

31. I'd prefer the pat down

I like getting groped!
No seriously.....

I've been stripsearched several times -and every time they were nice about it. They didn't like it any more than I did. What I don't get is why I always get pulled aside in airports -pale blond guy, obvious Arab terrorist!

Khash.

[NV Whino]

32. Oh, hell 3D body image hands down

They would be soooo turned off no one would notice If I carried a nuke up my posterior. :rofl:

[jberryhill]

33. Fly naked

That's what I do.

[Generic Brad]

34. I'd like both, please

That should teach the screeners a lesson.

[Ptah]

35. I'll decline.

[harmonicon]

36. pat down

I think it's less invasive.

[JCMach1]

37. Depends on who is patting!

[1]

38. i have to go with the scan...

[Zavulon]

39. The scan, please.

They can look all they want, but I don't want their fucking hands on me.

[Sultana]

40. Pat down

3D ish is terrifying.

[KitchenWitch]

41. Pat me down please.

[Fox Mulder]

42. Pat down.

[provis99]

43. Either one I can deal with

It's when they whip out the anal probe that it starts to get a little too personal for me.

[petronius]

44. I'll take the scan - I really don't like people touching me

Of course, my number one choice would be to not live in a country where BS feel-good-but-stay-scared so-called security measures were so ubiquitous...

[LaStrega]

45. I'd rather not have a 3D body image show my 'love' handles ...

to all the travelers in line behind me (no pun). If that says 'love' ... I'm having no part of it.

[My Good Babushka]

46. Pat down

with lots of eye contact.

[Phillycat]

47. The scan - I cannot stand strangers touching me.

And people are germy, too. :puke:

[NJmaverick]

48. No contest, in my mind- the scan

I don't care what they look at, but I don't like having to stop and be grouped by some security guard.

[terrya]

49. The pat-down.

I have an artificial hip, so I ALWAYS set off the metal detectors at airports. And I get the pat-down. I'm used to it and they're always nice about what an inconvenience it may be to me. Which it really isn't.
