Airport strip searches

Exhibitionists everywhere are celebrating the newest atrocity to be committed by the Department of Homeland Security in the name of protecting us from Tear'ists.

The agency in charge of the nation's air security expects later this
year to begin using a controversial X-ray machine that will show
airport screeners a clear picture of what's under passengers'
clothes — whether weapons or just bare skin.


[...]

Security workers using the machines can see through clothes and peer
at whatever may be hidden in undergarments, shirts or pants. The images
also paint a revealing picture of a person's nude body.


Let Freedom Ring!
