We hear that Ann of the One Black Dress is diametrically opposed to body scanners.

I wonder why......

Maybe she doesn't want to be the cause of any lustful thoughts? I suppose there could be somebody out there who is turned on by broomsticks (both her shape and what she rides).....

Thanks, I needed to see the funny side of this issue. Will be traveling through SeaTac in the very near future and am not too keen on having to choose between radiation exposure or having a woman who is not my doctor feeling me up.

Totally agree w/ the commenter at the bottom of the cartoons page who said this is going to stop people from flying. If I weren't going as far away as AZ, I'd be thinking of another way to get there. Could make train travel popular again.

The feds are eyeing security measures on trains, too. Already they're using bomb-sniffing dogs, so I wouldn't put it past them to add the rest of the TSA crap, too.

Maybe the paranoiacs aren't wrong, and the Guvmint IS using all this to keep track of us?
