The body cavity will be the only way "in," so to speak.  <br><br>Perhaps someone will invent the 'terroristic thought' detector instead of the 'prohibited item' detector.  Walk into the scanning booth, it scans your brain using functional MRI and advanced open-source AI algorithms for any destructive *thoughts* you might be thinking. <br><br>Anyone having any destructive thoughts will be instantly stunned with an electric shock, and rendered helpless while government agents tie you up with nylon cuffs and transport you to your own little corner of Cuba never to be seen or heard from ever again.<br><br>George Orwell had it wrong.  His novel 1984 did not go far enough.  I advise all citizens to boycott the airlines totally, and to arm yourselves against the tyranny that surely is at this very minute descending upon us all.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rusty Shackleford]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Full body scanners coming to an aiport near you]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[George Orwell had it wrong.

They are testing these clear enclosed vestibules that shoot air up from the ground sniffing for explosive traces on top of the typical metal detector stuff I guess. She said she was 'locked' into the chamber and wasn't informed to hold her clothing down. Also the lines were slow because it taks about 25 seconds for each passenger to go through the thing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave Zatz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Full body scanners coming to an aiport near you]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[They are using the similar air puffing device at SFO.

Heck...if it keeps peeps from putting their grubby digits all over me they can screen cap whatever they want from the neck down and post it on the net for all I care...(but I'm not an attractive woman, so I'm not a likely target...).<br><br> As for the '1984' comments, scary stuff indeed.  I mean even it it actually WORKS and they can see if you are planning to hijack a plane or blow up an airport with any degree of accuracy...think of what this means for US.  The geek-fringe element !  I mean what geek worth his/her silicon (and for tha matter what engadget poster) hasn't chuckled when going through the security checks at airports and spent the next few minutes idley musing about how he/or she would go about defeating the security measures ?  It's a geek reflex I'm telling you.  But if it were suddenly displayed on an FP in technicolor it might not look so innocent...<br><br> "Think about it..." - Falling Down]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[OddManOut]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Full body scanners coming to an aiport near you]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[It sorta resembles the Orgasmatron from the movie "Sleeper."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[navamske]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Full body scanners coming to an aiport near you]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/full-body-scanners-coming-to-an-aiport-near-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[I had to go through the explosive detecting "phonebooth" at DFW last month...

But where is the limit?! What's next? Since traveling is increasingly becoming a pain, then I think those "terrorists" have somehow succeeded...
