Mandatory 'Naked' Body Scan in El Paso Airport

I am flying out in two days. Did you know if you can't raise your hands above your head, you can't be scanned? I walk with a cane. There's no way I can stand easily and raise my hands above my head. You can opt out for a pat down by a worker of your gender. Refuse the scan and tell them you prefer to be frisked.

I triple-dog dare you to wear pasties on your nipples...

Wait till they see those in the scan!!!

I've been thinking....Do you think they could be looking for something other then things we might be able to sneak on a airplane...Maybe the Humanoids are in search of their Princess and she has a specific birth mark...and when they find her the machines will go off like slot machines..Just a thought...a..crazy...thought..

If there was such a threat, these things would be everywhere.
I was surprised to discover, when flying out of London Heathrow terminal 1 a couple of weeks back, that there are no body scanners, yet I believ they are in operation in terminal 5?

Surely, if there is such a big threat then these should be in every terminal, not just one?

I smell another big stinky rat being sold to the public.... again!

umm... kind of.

I have considered the possibility of this tech being used to build a biometric skeletal database to track the herd for various nefarious reasons.
