    I believe what you are saying but really didn’t think the scanners were capable of actually seeing your genital area as if it was an Xray

      In the display that TSA agents are given, the image is no longer shown and instead the system shows an outline of a body with the questionable area marked. This was added after the aforementioned outrage from travelers so that every TSA agent didn’t get an x-ray view of your naked body. The scanners are the same, but the agent doesn’t see it anymore.

      Yes other poster is correct. Those “full body scanners” where you put your hands up can see the full Monty. Big backlash post 9/11 when they started rolling this stuff out. Guess we decided as a society we ultimately didn’t care.

        So what I don’t understand is if it works as you say, which I do believe is true, then why the fuck do they jerk you around with taking this off, or that off. It’s all just bullshit. It’s bad enough that I have to deal with tools on the plane but you just have to fuck with me just to get on the plane

      They are talking about the security scanners, those can count the number of pubes you have. The sensors in restrooms do not have any imaging capacity. This is extraordinarily funny, since those sensors are mostly in men’s restrooms while all the fake concerns are about women’s restrooms.

        Would I be able to fool the scanner if I completely shaved my member and scrotum, and then tucked my member under my thigh?

          No. It’s a millimeter scan, it is pretty much as if a person saw you naked up front. You have a better chance, in fact, if you don’t shave. The hair can disguise the tuck. Then again, any body hair will be visible, so everything must pass. It’s close to a black and white naked photo from the front and the back that is a tiny bit blurry.

          Shorts covered with quartz sequins would scatter the image enough to blind the scanner. Make sure they’re mounted with glue instead of metal mounts, or they’ll fail the metal detector.

              my point is you dont need to be trying to tuck your shit to convince the tsa that you’re a chick bro.

              just shave that shit bro.

              i havent shaved my garbage for a good long while. as ive gotten older, the ball hair has increased in density, it might be refreshing to go cue-ball.

              i had a friend (had, as he doesnt talk to me anymore cause he needed to borrow €100 and is always broke so will prolly never pay it back) who was a big evangelist for shaving your shit. he was a bit of a locker room pervert… anyway he said one time he was shearing his nuts and sliced off like a 2mm section of scrotum skin (not all the way to the vas defferens or anything, just deep into the layers of skin), and he said the blood came out like a ruby red fire suppression sprinkler and he couldnt get it to stop

        Ok so even the article you posted says that those machines that show you naked have not been in use for a long time and when they were in use it was phased out pretty quickly.

        It also says the image in there is from 2010 and the veracity can not be guaranteed.

        So very much no the airport machines cannot see you naked.

          Yes they can see you nude, but those specific machines have been removed from unspecified airports,

          The one in Sydney for sure still can image you nude. Ask me how I know.
