Heathrow Airport: No Scan, No Fly

    They've those naked body scanners in Heathrow now. Complete with goon operator who can see your nads (as well as your wife's/children's private parts if it takes their fancy).

    It seems the "terrorists" have won. Then again, the tentacles of totalitarianism are even worse than the so-called "terrorists". The fact is that you're more likely to die from MRSA in a State-run hospital than you are from the perceived dangers of Muslims in caves in Afghanistan.

    It's such a relief to have sexy children like my kids. I couldn't imagine the embarrassment otherwise.

    is there an email address where i can send my cv?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I think for the first few days I'd be a little immature about it but after you've scanned your first ten thousand passengers or so I am sure the security agents will be bored to tears of the technology other than as a means to ensure your safety.

    The first time I flew out of Amsterdam had to go through one of things (In retrospect It was a good decision not to bring souviners :D )

    The second time I flew out of Amsterdam I didnt have to go through one of things but they gave me a nice information leaflet about it

    Go figure ?

    That tinfoil hat would become useful to protect your crotch from harmful backscatter radiation. :eek:

    It probably depends on how good looking you are.

    :D.

    If you were a total legend you'd leak loads of pics of celebrities and politicians under this scanner onto the interwebz, stop this thing in it's tracks (aswell as providing hot naked pics of celebs and funny embarassing naked pics of politicians :D).

    useful to protect your crotch from harmful backscatter radiation. :eek:

    According to my information leaflet it uses "harmless centimetre waves"

    Although that might be just spoof to fool Al Quieda. I bet it uses Inch waves really


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Oh suck it up and go through the scanner.... some of us have flights to catch!

    Thats what they tell us. :rolleyes:

    I doub't if these devices are safe with pregnant women and just like the H1N1 Swine flu vaccine the public will of course have the wool pulled over their eyes.

    You could really confuse the scanner guy/gal and wear a strap-on, backwards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 grezz


    this is exactly what the terrorists wanted its like an ira bombscare its aim was to cause as much disruption as possible which they have achieved
