Re: Airport "body scanners" and children.

I guess the people in charge are OK with TSA agents looking at 'naked' kids? How do we know that TSA hasn't hired a bunch of perverts? What are the legal ramifications here?

1. They should seize the scanners for evidence of child porn.

2. I don't understand why the scanner can't just show a stick figure...

...with a circle or arrow or color indicating the problem area. :shrug:

3. Ya know, I should've jazzed up my title.

OMG! Government is paying strangers to LOOK AT YOUR NAKED CHILDREN!

Seriously, though. How is this going to be handled?

4. Did you see the 'Andromeda Strain'?

The 1971 computer graphics are just what's needed here: the outline of a humanoid shape, and the location of the suspicious items could be indicated by some other graphic: a cartoon ball with a fuse to indicate 'bomb', a sack with '$' sign on it to indicate smuggled cash, etc.

The outline for children would be distiguished from adult men and women by the additional outline of pigtails for girls, and a propeller beanie for boys.
