Full Body Scans at Airports Seem Creepy, Show Underwear

There's absolutely nothing worse than the security line at an airport. Because of the events surrounding 9/11, it is completely impossible to slide through in any sort of expedient manner. However, the notion that airports could introduce "full body scanners" (yes, Total Recall style) might speed things up. 

Or make things really, really awkward.

The new technology, developed by New York based L3 Communications, has raised concerns after it was revealed that underwear is visible in the scans.

The scan blurs out the face of the passenger, and the image is not stored. However, the American Civil Liberties Union said the body scanning technology could be too intrusive as it could project images of mastectomies and catheter tubes.

Yeah, so, really, there's no reason to get this party started ... unless you're really, really thrilled about the prospect of seeing someone heavily embarrassed every time you get in line at the airport.

And yes, that might actually be kind of fun, but at the same time, this (currently voluntary) test is almost guaranteed to actually slow things down, even if it manages to somehow make airports safer.
