Thinking about taking up a job as an airport screener

... but only if this actually happens: (http://news.com.com/Airport+screeners+could+see+X-rated+X-rays/2100-7348_3-5718163.html)

Airport screeners could see X-rated X-rays

Get ready for electronic portals known as backscatters, expected to be tested at a handful of airports this year, that use X-ray imaging technology to allow a screener to scan a body. And yes, the body image is detailed. Let's not be coy here, ladies and gentlemen:

"Well, you'll see basically everything," said Bill Scannell, a privacy advocate and technology consultant. "It shows nipples. It shows the clear outline of genitals."


Seriously, though, how long before screeners are taking pics with their cell phones and spreading them all over the internets. I don't think being scanned will prevent me from flying, but there's no way I'd let my girlfriend. I don't want some random highschool dropout scumbag oogling her.
