Airport security playing with junk and crank.

Airport Security in the good ol' US of A has been stepped up a notch to include a wide array of invasive security options for the traveller. You'll still have to take off shoes, remove belt, etc., but now airport security may decide you're worth ogling or worth touching.

Ogling. Security can select you to be body scanned by a cool x-ray type machine that sees through clothes. This machine confirms whether you're male or female and if you're packin' heat below your clothes, this thing will spot it. It won't let them see if you're packing some explosive goodies internally: http://www.dontscan.us/

Touching. Of course, you can choose to not be body-scanned by the x-ray machine. But if you do, prepare for the full body pat-down. And, we're talking "full" body. http://pncminnesota.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/rape-survivor-devasted-by-tsa-enhanced-pat-down/

Penn Gillette (the taller talkier half of Penn & Teller) got groped  and posted his run-in with the TSA at Las Vegas: http://www.pennandteller.com/03/coolstuff/penniphile/roadpennfederalvip.html

And, from San Diego, some junk went down: http://www.examiner.com/libertarian-in-national/touch-my-junk-and-i-m-going-to-have-you-arrested-a-firsthand-account?sms_ss=mailto&at_xt=4ce54e436dc2c808,0
